Dover, Delawre, USA, October 29,1983<br /> At precisely 7 A.M., a Marine honor guard and a color guard in ceremonial dress uniforms marched into a huge hangar at the Dover Air Force Base and stood facing 16 coffins. Behind them, suspended from the beams of the hangar, was a 38-foot American flag.<br /> The ceremony was the first on American soil honoring servicemen killed in the bombing in Beirut and the invasion of Grenada.
