Reagan + Grenada = Conservative

This from a loyal NRO reader, on how he became a conservative two decades ago while serving in the Navy:

In 1983, I was a young man without political interests until my experience in Grenada made me a conservative, and a Reagan devotee. We were welcomed as liberators. I will never forget the gratitude I received from the people of Grenada. When I cam home, and to this day, the American news media refer to Operation Urgent Fury as the “Invasion of Grenada.” Yet, in Grenada, October 23rd is celebrated as “Thanksgiving Day.”
