There's a memorial in Philadelphia to the Beirut Marines, Navy and Army dead. One of the Park guides was one of the last Marines out of there right after it happened. His unit lost a lot of good men. He tells an amazing story.
One of my brothers was offshore(Navy) at the time.
A fellow that graduated high school as I was entering died there. I didn't know him well, but I still think of him often. LCPL David L. Cosner, USMC
