[QUOTE="ajblakejr, post: 518858, member: 18807"] The tears are heavy in my heart right now...I think about Beirut. I think how that moment in history is forgot / lost. I think about the day when we lost many fine Marines...and it hits me harder now. I engaged in conversation with a coworker that grew up in Louisiana. I was hoping that he knew a few Tuskegee Airmen that he could direct to Honor Flight to visit the WWII memorial in Washington, D.C. He stopped me dead when he told me he was Veteran. He said these words, "I was in Beirut." I choked - I knew exactly what he said in that short sentence. He was one of the few that made it out...but that didn't stop his mother from having an official visit. Bless you for posting your story... [/QUOTE]
