They came in Peace
23 years ago today terrorist struck the Marine compound at BIA and the French compound. It was the largest non nuclear explosion ever until the OKC bombing. It was also the opening shot of the war on terrorism. We just didn't know it.
220 Marines, 18 Sailors and 2 Soldiers were killed in the blast
One of our WAB members was there. I hope you are fine today Fred. You upheld the traditions of the Navy that day. Job well done, Sailor
