It has been 41 years. We lost 241 Americans, 220 Marines, 18 Sailors 3 soldiers along with 58 French paratroopers.

The worst single day for the Marines since Iwo Jima. As some know, one of them was 1st Lt Don "Wooly Bear" Woollett. A young man of great character with his whole life in front of him. He was also a friend and classmate.

Absent Companions Wooly Bear, Semper Fi

Many point to this day as the start of the Global War on Terror. 241 American families whose lives have been senselessly shattered, 58 French familes.
