Veterans Corner Bloody Sunday
By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. The date is Oct. 23, 1983, 33 years ago, and the place is Beirut, Lebanon. At 6:22 on that Sunday morning, 350 Marines, sailors and soldiers lay asleep in a four-story building when a terrorist driving a large heavy truck loaded with equivalent of six tons of TNT started to pick up speed, and rumbled passed two guard posts. Lance Corporal Eddie DiFranco was manning the sentry post, he later said, “He looked right at me, smiled, that is,” and the last thing that Corporal DiFranco remembers is about two seconds later the truck exploding then woke up in the hospital, one of the lucky ones to survive. The blast was so very powerful that it had lifted the building in the air, severing off all the steel reinforced concrete support columns that were 15 feet in circumference, with no supports left to hold it up it self-destructed killing 241 U.S. military personnel, 220 marines, 18 sailors, and three soldiers, many were crushed to death in bed. I sincerely hope that the families of those who died that “Bloody Sunday” are told that their loved ones are American heroes, and that they will never be forgotten. That was not the only attack on that Bloody Sunday morning. A short time later, a second suicide bomber driving a second truck loaded with explosives neared the barracks of France’s first
Parachute Chasseur Regiment. As he began to speed up, guards were able to kill the driver just 15 yards short of the barracks. Unfortunately the driver was able to still detonate the device, bringing down the French barracks and killing 58 paratroopers in the process. A few of the French killed were standing on outside balconies trying to determine what happened at the U.S. base two miles away that woke them from sleep. The coalition forces in Lebanon on that bloody Sunday suffered 299 dead, and over 300 wounded, it was the worst single day death toll for the Marines since the battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. It happened because U.S. military commanders never learn from their mistakes, the attack on the U.S. Embassy but Colonel Tim Geraghty did nothing to bolster security at the Marine barracks to ensure that what happened at the U.S. Embassy would not happen again in Beirut. The Marines in Lebanon were operating under peacetime rules of engagement, which meant their weapons were not loaded, and the sentries at the guard posts had no way to stop that bomb truck. So why were the Marines with unloaded weapons, and the French weapons were loaded? Our troops in Lebanon in 1983 were not given a chance by their commanders, and the stupidity of U.S. military commanders and generals is unfathomable. If anyone would like to talk story please give old Jesse a call at 553-3323. Remember old Jesse loves Molokai and all its people, every man, women and child from the heart. Aloha and mahalo.
