So tomorrow is October 23rd and the 30th anniversary of the Marine barracks bombing in 1983. Many good and young men were killed in a largely forgotten bombing. Please don't forget them and thank a veteran.

Thanks to all who have served and are serving.

This nation sometimes forgets to show remembrance to tragic events such as this.
I am a proud Navy Veteran, I am a proud American.
But our nations amnesia-like regards to these tragic events sometimes leaves me shaking my head.

Thank you for sharing JM. I had never heard of this tragedy until now. The story is just crazy to think of with how large the damage was.
Thank you to every man & woman who has ever been the 1% to serve.
 
Thank you Johny for posting this and Thank You to all our service men and women past present and future.

It is sad to see how amnesiac our society has become about our veterans, what they've done and what many have given.
 
Thanks Johnny, My brother was in the Marines at that time, and while he was stationed in another country far away, he and everyone in his Unit felt the loss.

Thanks to all who have served and are serving.
