Thanks. Should not be hard to fill in more on Lebanese invasion. We sailed down to Subic Bay from Okinawa and never went further west. I had a 6x6 electronics repair van in our LST. Guy I enlisted with was with air/naval gunfire on a Med cruise and went ashore at Beirut. He said they were met by ice-cream vendors! He had a fun time there, running around in a radio jeep with his buddy, both armed with 1911's and Thompsons. He said one of the buildings they guarded most closely was the brewery. Maybe a better view from there?
