The US Embassy paused Thursday to commemorate the death of 51 Americans and Lebanese during suicide bomb attacks against the diplomatic mission in 1983 and 1984.
“Today we come to pay our respects to the American and Lebanese employees of the Beirut Embassy who died in the bombings of 1983 and 1984,” said US Ambassador Vincent Battle during a brief ceremony at the embassy in Awkar. “We come to say thank you for the tremendous sacrifice they paid for serving the US Embassy.”

Hope Hez'b'allah is resting comfortably in their Damascus office. We haven't forgot about the Marines and others you killed. Sooner or later, justice will come for you.
