I was in HS at the time. It is one example why I decided to enter into military life!

I too will say a special prayer in remembrance for them and their loved ones!

Thanks for the reminder! It is important we don't forget moments in history like that! Matter of fact I will show this site to my children and help them to understand and pay homage!

If I hadn't already signed my life away by then, after this happened, I would have definitely volunteered.

It's been a long 25 years.

Thanks for the reminder, Frank.

May there be a special place in Hades for the perpetrators and May all those brave Heroes find their well deserved rest. Comfort and strength for the families and the survivors.

RIP to the lost and my thoughts and prayers out to their families and friends; as well as those Marines who survived that harrowing day.

I will never forget.

I still remember the day in 1983 when I read about this in the newspapers. Felt really sad. RIP, Marines.
