"The Beirut Battalion" -

The 1st Battalion, 8th Marines (1/8 Marines) is an infantry battalion in the U.S. Marine Corps based out of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The battalion consists of approximately 1000 Marines and sailors. The battalion falls under the command of the 8th Marine Regiment and the 2nd Marine Division.

The 1/8 Marines, affectionately known as "The Beirut Battalion," stands as an emblem of commitment, resilience, and heroism within the storied legacy of the U.S. Marine Corps. As a unit under the 1/8 Marines, they have continually epitomized the ethos of the Marine Corps in both war and peace.

1/8 Marines holds a poignant place in American history due to their deployment in Beirut, Lebanon, during 1983. In the face of adversity, they demonstrated unparalleled valor and, unfortunately, made the ultimate sacrifice, with many Marines losing their lives in the barracks bombing. This incident has solidified their title as "The Beirut Battalion," immortalizing them as a symbol of dedication and sacrifice.

Beyond Beirut, their service spans multiple theaters and eras, from the gritty battles of World War II and Korea to recent engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 1/8 Marines have persistently showcased their combat acumen, tenacity, and unwavering commitment to their mission.

Being part of the 1/8 Marines isn't just a service designation; it's a solemn commitment to uphold the values and honor of those who served before, especially those who laid down their lives in the name of duty.
