Our local Veterans organizations and other local military units will conduct a Beirut Memorial Service tomorrow at the Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 AM. This service will honor the fallen in the 30th anniversary of the terrorist bombing of the USMC headquarters in Beirut in 1983, in which 241 US Marines were killed, including 9 from Rhode Island.Â
Take time from your schedule to pay your respects to these young Americans who paid the ultimate price for our peacekeeping efforts.Â
