Honor the 241: 29th anniversary of the Beirut barracks bombing

I was a young Lance Corporal on October 23, 1983 sitting on Okinawa with orders already in hand to go to Camp Pendleton. The next week they were changed to go to Camp Lejeune. It was one of our first really large encounters with radical islam. Hezbollah, supported by Iran, you know Iran, the same folks we just flew plane loads of cash to a month or two ago. The same Iran that was sending in explosives for IED's to kill Americans in Iraq. We seem to never learn.

Hallowed Number "241"....
