Marine veteran Dale Garner honored by POTUS

Here today is a veteran who reminds us why that mission really matters. As a young man, Dale Garner enlisted in the Marines after the Iran hostage crisis. Soon he deployed to Beirut on a mission of peace. But on the morning of October 23rd, 1983, Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists all, by the way, terrorists all. detonated a truck packed with explosives at the Marine barracks with hundreds of Americans inside. Dale's first memory is waking up in a hospital bed and his catastrophic head injuries and wounds, a collapsed lung, a broken back, torn up legs, ruptured ear eardrums and horrific burns across his entire body and all over his face. He was the sole survivor of the men around him. And he joins us here to remember the 241 American service members murdered in the Beirut barracks bombing, the deadliest day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima. Dale, please stand up. Thank you.
