Although there were over 270 men killed in action in Beirut from 1982-1984, most were lost on Oct 23rd. Many are reminded when they see the clock display this number, or see it on a locker, parking space, or other items we encounter in everyday life. I want to remind people of Terry Hudson, who was a Marine that was in the Marin<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">e Barracks that morning. Terry was an armorer, so he oversaw a lot of the weapons and ammunition used by the troops. Being an armorer meant that just about everyone knew you. As a result of the bombing, Terry Hudson had over 43 percent of his body burned from the waist up. He had severe inhalation wounds. Three of his fingers had been completely burned off. Terry was transferred to a burn unit in San Antonio Texas and this happened to be close to his family in Alabama. He suffered four heart attacks during his recovery but eventually succumbed to his wounds six weeks later and died on December 5, 1983. Of the men that never left the hospital, he was the last serviceman to die from the Beirut Bombing, and many would say #241. There was a Marine that died a few days before Hudson on December 2, 1983 but his death was announced after Hudson&#8217;s, which brought the death toll to 241. Terry&#8217;s mother was a divorced single parent struggling to raise 13 children and her lifelong dream was to buy a permanent home. One of Terry Hudson&#8217;s last wishes was that he told his sister &#8220;Look for a house for Mama&#8221; and died before he could see that dream realized. Mrs. Hudson did buy the small home with the SGLI insurance money from Hudson&#8217;s death. I only ask that you think of Terry Hudson and the 240 other Marines, sailors and soldiers that died that day. Perhaps others will also remember them everytime they see the number 241 in everyday life.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Terry is only one of the hundreds\u00a0that the Attorney Caragh Fay does NOT represent&#8230;in fact, I have fought for years to get them legal representation in a case against Iran.\u00a0 \u00a0Caragh Fay has been uncooperative and seemingly obstructive in my opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number 241 is significant to many veterans and family next-of-kin for the servicemen killed in &hellip; <a title=\"Cpl Terry Hudson, Beirut KIA #241 &#8230; NOT represented by Caragh Fay\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=82446\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Cpl Terry Hudson, Beirut KIA #241 &#8230; NOT represented by Caragh Fay<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":667,"featured_media":82447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/667"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=82446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/82447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=82446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=82446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=82446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
