An additional sixty Americans were injured in the blast.  Moments later, a second truck exploded, leveling an eight-story building, killing 58 French paratroopers.

A total of 299 servicemen died on that day with the organization Islamic Jihad claiming responsibility after receiving help from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Merriam-Webster Online defines Jihad as: 1. a holy war, or 2. a crusade for a principle or belief.

This Marine Corps t-shirt design keys on the belief that the tables can be turned on radical Islam and you don’t have to clutch a Koran to wage Jihad or a crusade.

Your day will come Iran.
