I remember when the ABC NEWS SPECIAL REPORT came on… talking about what happened… I was in the hospital having surgery on my ears and it was on my television.
I had a few nurses who sat on my bed and was watching it with me… and I remember them covering their open mouths in disbelief.

I was trying to comprehend what was going on because I was only 13 at the time… but I do remember it.
It’s an absolute shame that a majority of Americans have forgotten about it.

Do you guys remember it? Where was you when you first heard about it??

I remember it. I was a sophomore then.
That's when I decided I wanted to go into the military. Ended up not happening because I had to many knee issues and couldn't pass the physical.
Iran was responsible for the bombing.
It killed over 200 Marines plus Navy Seals and several soldiers from the French military IIRC.
This is just one of the many terroristic attacks on the United States that Iran has been solely responsible for and or linked to over the last 40 years. We should have made a sheet of glass out of Iran when it happened instead of walking on egg shells.
