Type of Event: Band
Event Details:
The Beirut Memorial was a gift from the citizens of Onslow County to honor those men that lived among us and gave so much. A solemn tribute to 273 Marines who gave the last full measure of devotion in Lebanon and Grenada on October 23, 1983. The names of each man are engraved in granite along with the words "They Came In Peace." Set in a wooded site with beautiful landscaping, this is a fitting tribute to our military men and women who answer the call everyday without regard to personal safety.
The 2d Marine Divison Band will be participating in the city of Jacksonville's wreath laying ceremony honoring those who perished on that fateful day.
