Memorial Day
On Oct 23rd, 1983 America suffered the first blow of a suicide bomber, when a suicide bomber drove his vehicle into the US Marine Barracks in Lebanon Beiruit, killing 241 Marines (220), Sailors(18) and Soldiers (3). I lost a dear friend who I served with as an instructor , at the Marine Corps Engineer School. 1st Sgt David L. Battle was a close and dear brother in arms. I think of him often as his new post is the pearly gate of heaven.
