Description: Tribute to a Marine killed in an ambush as he stepped from a helicopter near the US Embassy in Beirut on 8 Jan 1984.
The Marines of 2/8 would like to thank the Seebees for the FANTASTIC JOB done in Beirut under extreme hardship. You guys really have the "Can Do" spirit!!. It was January 1984 and and young corporal had just taken my place on a working party to the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. I fell back on my rack exhausted after 2 trips to the Embassy filling sandbags and running four hour patrols at night. My sleep was fitfull as it always was in the root. I awoke to the news that the young Corporal, my friend Eddie Gargano, had been killed at the LZ near the Embassy. I walked outside screaming and crying, off and on,cursing the Shouf mountains and the Cowardly Terriorists who inhabited them.
