Ronald Reagan was President, and sent a telegram to all posts stating that he didn't want to hear of another embassy falling, without a 'spirited defense'. In reference to the recent Teheran embassy takeover, and burning of the embassy in Islamabad, both in 1979, on Jimmy Carter's watch.

It was an exciting time for a young 23 year-old Sergeant of Marines. That rooftop was the first place I ever experienced incoming fire.
