Marine Editor reports Grenada medical students liberated from the island and flown to the United States. They arrive in Atlanta exhausted yet joyful, kissing ground in a free country. They praise Rangers and Marines and recall harrowing days under curfew while escaping by helicopter to safety.
Two Grenada families who fled the island in 1974 due to the Gairy regime settled in Aiken County. They describe disrupted phone service, violence, and a swift U.S. invasion, while pursuing new jobs, education, and a hope for Grenada’s stability and return. Pearl Mitchell awaits a visa, and George Mitchell’s family adjusts to life in South Carolina.
