They Came in Peace


CrackedPot and Sugar3 had friends who were asleep in their racks when terrorists detonated a truck bomb at their Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. Two hundred and forty-one Marines, sailors and soldiers were killed on October 23, 2003. The Beirut Memorial, located in Jacksonville, NC is dedicated to those who lost their lives that day. In addition, a bradford pear tree was planted along highway 24 for each fallen man.

Here's to you Jerry, wherever you are.
