🇺🇸 In Remembrance – Beirut Barracks Bombing, October 23, 1983 🇺🇸
Tomorrow marks 43 years since the tragic bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. On October 23, 1983, 241 U.S. service members including 220 Marines, 18 Navy Sailors, and 3 Army Soldiers along with 58 French peacekeepers and 3 civilians lost their lives.
Nine of those heroes were from Massachusetts, including North Andover’s own Cpl. Sean Gallagher
We honor Cpl. Gallagher and all who made the ultimate sacrifice that day and we remember the families who have carried their legacy for more than four decades.
May we never forget their courage, their service, and their sacrifice. 🇺🇸
