Stop in for a cup of coffee

John @Sublime one ,

One of my best friends from High School was a Marine and did a tour in Beruit immediately before and immediately after the bomb attack on the Marines.

He saw the before and after and shared it with me often in real time back then.

It is an event in Marine history that I will never forget.
Oddly enough I was also there, last name Bailey. You are welcome to share with your buddy, who knows perhaps we shared a mouth full of sand at some point. Did you notice there was virtually no mention of Beirut today on any news source, social or conventional. It is like it never happened, we rotated from the hostage crisis debacle to Beirut. Yep, I am proud owner of two second place trophies. While the world may sweep it under the rug I can give you 220 reasons why I will never forget. Me and hound got trashed in shop today as I got pissed off and left work. Just not a good day for me, not that I got any baggage or am bitter or anything! Hah!
2 nd Marines. We are the tip of the spear! RIP 1/8 2nd Mar Div
