HISTORICAL ADVICE & ACURACY
Judy & Jack YoungJudy and Jack Young have been extremely instumental in making this site possible. They have spent countless hours meeting with me, talking on the phone, writing letters and exchanging materials across the mail. They are the parents of SGT Jeff Young, killed in the Oct 23, 1983 bombing of the Marine Corps Barracks. [ See: Jeff Young ] They have in turn, in addition to their help, pointed me in the direction of other reliable contacts to help complete information critical to this web site.
Mike is the founder and curator of the Beirut Memorial Foundation/project. He is the local contact in Jacksonville, NC about the memorial.
MAJ Robert Jordan was the Public Affairs Officer stationed in Beirut, Lebanon during the bombing and afterward. He is the founder and current president of the Beirut Veterans of America. He has proved instrumental in helping me adhere to accuracy about the U.S. involvement in Beirut.
Dr. Charles Ramberg is a veterinarian at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Although not directly connected with the Beirut deployment, Dr. Ramberg was sympathetic to this effort and has graciously allowed the Beirut Memorial On Line to exist on his web server. He is the director of the Center for Animal Health and Productivity, which has its own web server. Without Dr. Ramberg's his receptiveness and generosity, this effort would not exist.
