Cape Cod Marine Corps League 40th anniversary of the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon on October 22nd, at 1PM, at the Village Green in Falmouth. 

The Cape Cod Marine Corps League detachment 125 will be holding a memorial ceremony, to mark the 40th anniversary of the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon on October 22nd, at 1PM, at the Village Green in Falmouth.

The attack of October 23rd, 1983 killed 220 Marines, 18 Navy sailors, and 3 Army soldiers. It was the largest loss of Marines in one day, since the battle of Iwo Jima in 1945, and the largest loss of American servicemen at one time, since the opening of the Tet offensive in January, 1968.

This event is open to all. Join Cape Cod Marine Corps League detachment 125, in honoring these heroes, who made the ultimate sacrifice, as they attempted to bring peace to a region hell bent on tearing itself apart.

Semper Fi.
