Hello I am a Former Marine Corps Veteran and I service from 1978 to 1986 and was in Operation Urgent Fury Grenada Oct 1983 . I lost fellow marines in Beirut Lebanon Oct 1983 to in the Marine Corps Barracks exposition. I am writing a book about my uncle who was in the RCAF and my father who was in the RCAF in WW 2 . Both were shot down and my uncle was a hero and died in being shot down in June 25th 1943 .
