    Was on I-I duty at that time. Did a casualty call for one of the Marine's family who was killed in that bombing. Since I was the I-I admin chief, went on all casualty calls with the I-I and reserve Naval chaplain. Helped the families with the insurance and pay arrears forms. Every casualty call was unique - just never knew how the NOK would react to the news. Had doors slammed in our faces a couple times. Once, the family owned/operated a restaraunt so we had to go there during business hours to deliver the news. The sister dropped her tray full of food when we walked in and ran into the kitchen where her mom was cooking.

    They Came in Peace
    by Sgt A.W.Brown Marine Veteran
    They came in peace
    To the plcae called
    Beirut Lebanon
    Not for fame or fortune
    But to stop the killing
    For they came in peace


    They were young
    Cocky and sure
    But that is ok
    After all
    They came in peace


    Then on Sunday
    October 23th at 6:22
    While most where
    Still asleep
    A yellow truck came
    Not caring that
    They came in peace


    The driver drove
    Through the fence
    And into the lobby
    killing 241 Marines
    Sailors and soldiers
    Because they came in Peace


    Some say the died
    For nothing but
    They are wrong
    They died for
    something
    They died for Peace

    Well said Sgt. Brown.

    We will never forget.
