The Beirut Veterans of America is 501(c)3 not for profit corporation that promotes remembering those US service personnel who served in or around Beirut, Lebanon as Peacekeepers, or in other humanitarian role, since 1958; specifically, those who paid the ultimate sacrifice while doing so. On October 23, 1983 alone, 220 Marines, 18 Sailors and 3 Soldiers perished when the Marine Barracks was attacked by a suicide bomber, an act of cowardice often seen as the first major catastrophe of the modern terrorist era. More than 30 others would lose their lives in this first battle against terrorism during that period, with others perishing before and since.
An applicant does not need to do more than complete the application process as set forth within the above-noted link.
