On October 23, Texas VFW remembers the 241 American service members killed in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, 220 Marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers. We honor their service, recognize the sacrifices of their families, and stand with the Veterans who served in Lebanon.

Early that Sunday morning, a su***de truck bombing destroyed the U.S. military barracks at Beirut International Airport. American personnel were serving as part of a multinational peacekeeping force during Lebanon’s civil war.

Forty-three years later, remembrance remains part of the VFW’s commitment to recognizing military service and supporting Veterans and their loved ones. That commitment includes camaraderie, advocacy, and free assistance from VFW Accredited Service Officers to help Veterans, families, and survivors pursue earned benefits.

We encourage our communities to pause in remembrance, learn about those who served in Beirut, and honor their place in service to our nation's history.

The Major Richard Star Act discharge petition reached 218 signatures on Sept. 16.

That means the clean bill can move forward on its own, separate from TCAVA.

Congress may be out of session, but advocacy doesn’t take a break. Find your local town hall and ask your representative if they plan to vote YES on the Major Richard Star Act this Congress, WITHOUT reducing veterans’ compensation to pay for it.

Veterans are watching.
