    Richard L. Ray, a retired gunnery sergeant, describes what it was like to serve during the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, which killed 241 American servicemembers, Oct. 23, 1983. Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 6, 2nd Marine Logistics Group visited the Beirut Memorial Oct. 11, 2012, to learn about the legacy of Beirut from Ray, who regularly takes time to share his own experiences in Lebanon with the current generation of Marines.
