This day, in 1983, the Marine barracks in Beirut were hit by two truck bombs. I’ve been remiss in writing Bill, and sadly haven’t been in touch with his family for far too long. I wrote to him in February, trying to catch up a bit.
Absent Companions: LCpl Bill J. Stelpflug, Beirut, 1983. Godspeed.
Godspeed also to all his Brothers in Arms who died that day. Remember them.
