There are 273 names engraved on the walls of the Memorial. In addition to the inscribed names of those who died in Beirut and those who have died since of injuries from that blast, there are the names of the three Marine pilots from the area who were killed in Grenada.

You hit it right on the money again SGM. That truck should have never even been allowed to get as close as it did. I could go on and on.....suffice to say..this was a leadership failure..all the way to the top. Thanks for posting this, JMP.

RIP Marines.
