“THEY CAME IN PEACE” Beirut Memorial Service and Dinner
Dear Fellow Marines:
October 23rd 2009 is the 26th anniversary of the cowardly terrorist attack on the United States Marines Barracks in Beirut Lebanon that took the lives of 220 Marines and 21 other servicemen . At 0622 hrs. Sunday morning 23 Oct. 1983 a large Mercedes truck charged into the Marine compound at Beirut ‘s airport and crashed into the bottom floor of a four story concrete building where approximately 300 military personnel were quartered . The Kamikaze driver of this truck immediately detonated the vehicles cargo which contained more then 12,000 tons of TNT.
The wonderful people of the Corona , Queens Lions Club were very obliging in fulfilling a request for Memorial dedicated to those Marines and others who sacrificed their lives for us on that terrible day. The members of the Lions Club responded by donating a granite headstone Memorial that has been placed inside the PFC William F. Moore Park on 108th Street and Corona Avenue, Corona Queens NY. ( Pfc. Moore was a Corona native and a US Marine, killed in action at Belleau Wood during WW l. . And so we found it fitting to name our Marine Association after this fine young Marine .
It is that time once again that we gather to remember and reflect on those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives for our country.
We invite you to join with us as we gather for this memorial service on 23 Oct 09 1830 Friday evening in the Pfc William F Moore Park . Immediately following this memorial service we will once again go to the Mess Hall ( Tony’s Restaurant located at 45- 18 104th Street Corona . The cost for the evening chow and refreshments will be $ 40.00 per person . The chow call is not mandatory but if you know you will be attending it would be appreciated if you let us know in advance so we can advise the Mess Sgt.
Semper Fi,
LtCol. Glenn J. Sadowski, President
