Today is the 25th anniversary of Operation Urgent Fury, the invasion of Grenada.

At the time, due to little news coverage, it appeared to have been an easy operation. Since then, thanks to the veterans of the operation and the Internet, we have learned of the sacrifices made by many brave men in that endeavor.

This was one of the small wars we fight to ensure that there are no big wars. It serves as a reminder that brave Americans fought and are fighting in many places in the world that do not capture the media’s attention. We are safe because of those men and women.

Matt at Blackfive has a note from one of the veterans of Operation Urgent Fury. It s worth your time and attention.
