One Week in October

In October of 1983, US Military personnel served as peacekeepers in Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War, and as rescuers on the Caribbean Island of Grenada. Two very different conflicts with two very different results. In observance of the 40th Anniversary of these two, all but forgotten, military engagements, veterans share the personal stories of their ONE WEEK IN OCTOBER.
