Cotton Statement on 40th Anniversary of Beirut Bombing
Washington, D.C. — Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement on the 40th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, which claimed the lives of 241 American service members:

 

“40 years ago, Iran’s terrorist proxy Hezbollah launched an attack against American troops. It was the deadliest day for U.S. Marines since Iwo Jima. Today is a reminder to not only honor those troops who paid the ultimate sacrifice for America, but to never forget that there are forces which will harm and kill Americans at any opportunity.”
