Summary
| Description |
English: The sign for the Peacekeeping Chapel, Beirut, Lebanon, during the time that U.S. forces were part of the International Peacekeeping Force. On October 23, 1983, when a suicide bomber drove a truck laden with explosions into the Marine Barracks, this portion of the sign survived. It is part of the historical collection at the U.S. Naval Chaplaincy School and Center, on the campus of the Armed Forces Chaplaincy Center (AFCC), Ft. Jackson, Columbia, SC.
In the article, "With the Marines in Beirut," published in the Fall 1984 issue of "The Jewish Spectator," Rabbi Arnold Resnicoff, one of the Navy chaplains present during the attack, wrote: "Amidst the rubble, we found the plywood board which we had made for our "Peace-keeping Chapel." The Chaplain Corps Seal had been hand-painted, with the words "Peace-keeping" above it, and "Chapel" beneath. Now "Peace-keeping" was legible, but the bottom of the plaque was destroyed, with only a few burned and splintered pieces of wood remaining. The idea of peace - above; the reality of war - below."[1] Official photo from the U.S. Naval Chaplaincy School and Center. |
