Thanksgiving Day On Grenada
The U.S. Invasion of Grenada, codenamed Operation Urgent Fury, was an invasion of the island nation of Grenada by the military forces of the United States of America, Canada, and several Caribbean nations.
On October 25, 1983, six days after Prime Minister Maurice Bishop was executed by Bernard Coard?s Marxist popular political movement (the New Jewel Movement), the United States Armed Forces landed troops on the beaches of Grenada.
The landing day is now a national holiday in Grenada, called Thanksgiving Day.
