Fallen Soldiers and Heroes

SGT. Richard L. Blankenship

United States Marine Corps

My US Marine husband gave his life in a suicide terrorist bombing - Oct. 23, 1983 when a terrorist drove his truck load of explosives into our Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon and detonated his cargo. 241 brave men died that day leaving 109 children without their fathers - my 2 year old son included. We will never forget.
