In this episode of The Carry The Load Podcast, our host Todd Boeding chats with Marine Veteran Guy Henninger about his time in Beirut and remembers the tragic loss of life that occurred on October 23, 1983 when two truck bombs struck buildings in Beirut, Lebanon, housing American and French service members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon (MNF), a peacekeeping operation during the Lebanese Civil War. The attack killed 307 people: 241 U.S. and 58 French peacekeepers, 6 civilians, and the 2 attackers making this incident the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II, the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Armed Forces since the first day of the Tet Offensive in the Vietnam War, and the deadliest terrorist attack on American citizens overseas.
Listen in as Guy reflects on the day he will never forget, the friends who saved his life, and those who never made it back home. #CarryTheLoad #Marines
