On October 23, 1983, terrorist drove 2 trucks filled with explosives into U.S. Maine Corps barracks housing a multinational peacekeeping force in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 241 American personnel (mostly U S Marines) and 58 French soldiers and civilians. Never Forget!

My friend, a psychiatrist, was sent to the location to help the survivors deal with the fallout.
