October 23, 1983 Beirut Lebanon Bombing

A picture truly is worth any number of words. And words cannot describe the loss, the shock, the coming together of a community in the face of that loss.
Today, 34 years later, each recalls the days and weeks that followed.

Dewitt’s Diary, Friday, October 23, 1964
Temperature 36, cloudy and stones wet.
Took a load of wood over to Jacksonville, one cord fireplace wood.
Had a goose hunt on the old Biggs farm. Bunny, Wes Eva, Bunny boy, and Mr. Everingham. We shot 14 geese about sundown. There have been many geese around this fall at times. The two geese I had were young geese.
