Reagan took office in 1981, Beirut occurred in 1983. So I think the unprovoked attack by those snakes "Islamic Jihad" on the barracks of off duty marines stationed in Beirut as peacekeepers occurred well after Reagan started saluting.

Plus, the Beirut bombing was without historical precedent in style and scale, and the date "October 23" in no manner marked some kind of anniversary date demanding intelligent, conscientious hypervigilance.

Which is a nice way of saying that Reagan is as responsible for Beirut as Obama is for Benghazi.
