Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Beirut Marine Barracks attack. There were 241 service men killed that Sunday morning when Ismail Ascari crashed a stolen truck full of explosives into the Barracks.
It seemed so far away when it happened. I was in High School and it just seemed so far removed from my life. I didn't know any Marines then. I didn't know any service men or women.
The world is so much smaller now.
Praying for their families today.
