This vintage postcard features a striking color photograph of a US Navy landing craft (LST 1661) carrying Marines, set against a serene blue sea. Captured during the Lebanese conflict in the early 1980s, this image reflects a significant historical moment when President Reagan's administration redeployed the Sixth Fleet offshore amid escalating regional tensions. The Marines, armed and alert, are prominently displayed onboard as the landing craft approaches the shore, symbolizing the military presence and operations during this pivotal era.Printed by Mike Roberts Color Productions of Oakland, CA, and published by Coral-Lee, this postcard is an original color photo by C. Spengler, part of the CL-RR series #83. The back includes detailed historical context about the US Marines' withdrawal from Lebanon and the naval bombardment by the battleship New Jersey, adding depth and significance to this collectible piece. Measuring the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches, this postcard is ideal for collectors interested in military history, naval memorabilia, or Cold War era artifacts.
