I was digging through the "war room" today and found a couple items I figured I'd share.

 

These are two propaganda posters captured during Op. Urgent Fury. I believe the picture may be one of the anti-aircraft guns from the Ft. George area.

Here is another poster that came back from the Grenada grouping. These all came back with a Marine. It is possible that this one came from Lebanon, but don't know.

Here's a couple of items I have framed up in my office, so the photos aren't the greatest. They were taken from the soldier's barracks at DENI and DNTT.

 

Item #1 - Small political flag:

The only item I have from this event is this photo postcard that I purchased at a local flea market which memorializes actions there.

The buckle is Cuban and would have been worn by a Cuba while plain buckles which were shipped from USSR to Grenada during the early 1980s would have been worn by members of the Grenadian forces. Tom
