25 years after Beirut
Every October, Judith Young makes a solemn trip from her home in southern New Jersey to Jacksonville, N.C., to honor her late son, Sgt. Jeffrey D. Young.
Young normally mourns alongside a close group of friends she's made honoring her son's memory, but this year there likely will be more attention on the memorials held at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and elsewhere for the 241 troops - all but 21 were Marines - killed in the Oct. 23, 1983, bombing of the Beirut barracks.
