This is the Massachusetts Beirut Memorial in Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park in Boston.
It was created in memory of the nine Marines from Massachusetts who died in the terrorist attack on the U.S. Marine Barracks in Lebanon on Oct. 23, 1983.
It says "Blessed Are The Peacekeepers" and the fallen Marines' names are inscribed.
One can almost read the sign!

Lovely and moving shadows from Boston! Hope somebody trims the trees back so the sign in the last photo can be seen!
