Operation Urgent Fury Grenada War
Operation Urgent Fury Grenada War
The invasion of the island nation of Grenada by the United States of America and several other nations in response to a coup d’état by Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard. From October 25, 1983, the United States, Barbados, Jamaica and members of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States landed ships on Grenada, defeated Grenadian and Cuban resistance and overthrew Coard's government. October 25 is a national holiday of Grenada, called Thanksgiving Day, to commemorate this event.
Many of these photos came from Jeff Mcannally of "Bravo Company 2/505 Inf. 82nd Airborne on patrol in the jungle, air assaulting an objective, securing a compound and the medic of 2/505 preparing to return to the US on 23 Dec. 1983."
