Do you remember the 1983 Beirut Barracks Bombings? Your memories?

I am old enough to remember it and it was a tragedy. In terms of remembering it, it is often ignored and it is a shame. I think that when this happened the US was embarrassed that one of its military duty stations could be attacked so easily. After this happened, security was ramped up at bases around the world. Also, Reagan quickly pulled the rest of US forces out of the area.
