Trump Recognizes Marine Veteran Dale Garner, Injured When Hezbollah Terrorists Attacked the Marine Barracks in Beirut on October 23, 1983

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “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."
