They Came in Peace


Beirut, 23 October 1983


"Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I’ve watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers-in-arms"


From Brothers-in-arms: 'They came in peace' by Lance Cpl. Jeffrey A. Cosola.

Never forget the lost or the fight that continues still today against terror. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmcKWBfyIw8
