Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and the city of Jacksonville will be hosting a virtual Beirut Memorial Observance ceremony at the Beirut Memorial in Jacksonville, North Carolina, Oct. 24, 2020. The memorial observance is held annually to honor the survivors and the fallen service members who served in Lebanon from 1958 to 1984 and in Grenada. According to William Chevers, a former combat engineer with Charlie Company, 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, the memorial is not only an incredible remembrance of the service members tragically lost that day, but an outstanding example of a community that came together to pay their respects to the amazing men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. The public is invited to view the live broadcast of the ceremony at 10:30 AM on October 23rd on the base and station social media pages and here: https://www.dvidshub.net/webcast/24897.
