Today, Texas A&rM freshman
Shawn McGrath is studying for ex
ams. One year ago Thursday, he was
c. U.S. Marine Corps sergeant fight
ing in South America.
On Oct. 25, 1983, the U.S. Army
and the Marine Corps invaded the
island of Grenada. McGrath was
part of that invasion.
McGrath, 22, an anthropology
major from La Coste, enlisted in the
Marine Corps when he was 17. After
boot camp, infantry training, am
phibious reconnaissance school and
various Army specialty schools, he
served for three and a half years at
Camp Lejeune, N.C., with a recon
naissance unit.
His years at Camp Lejeune were
spent training and retraining. Little
did he know he would have to utilize
thr.t training in the fall of 1983.
“We departed on Oct. 17, on our
way to Lebanon,” McGrath said. “A-
bout three days out the captain of
the ship came on the intercom and
announced that we had had some
trouble down in Grenada, (and) we
were going down there.”
McGrath said the plan was for the
Rangers (a division of the Army) to
“take the island,” and the Marines
were to serve as a backup. 1 hings
didn't work out that way.
“They came over the radio,”
McGrath said. “They sounded like
they were crying. They needed help
because they were getting shot out of
the sky.”
McGrath had just returned from a
reconnaissance mission on the island
when his unit had to go hack to the
island. His unit was told it would be
lighting Communists the minute it
landed on the l>eat h. he said.
“The whole time we were going
in, we were trying to get our
thoughts together,” McGrath said.
Thoughts of loved ones at home,
the* outcome of the mission and their
destinies Filled the Marines’ minds as
they waited to land on the beach, he
said.
li wasn’t until about 10 minutes
before landing that the Marines
were told the enemy was not on the
beach, lie said.
The Marines landed just before
the sun set.
“That night we didn’t get any
sleep,’’ he said. “We stood post, won
dering if we were going to be attack
ed.”
Another cause of apprehension
was a gunship that was firing at the
island.

Indians celebrate festival
By KEVINS. INDA
Reporter
The Indian celebration Diwali —
which means “Festival of Lights” —is
the biggest celebration of the year in
India and the equivalent of
Christmas in America, says Rajan
Vempati, a spokesman for the India
Association.
Diwali will be celebrated at Texas
A&M on Saturday with a dance, a
dress show and an art presentation.
The festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m.
in 201 Memorial Student Center.
Diwali is based on Indian mytho
logy and focuses on the return of the
Indian King, Rama, Vempati said.
The celebration of Diwali brings
all the Indian people of different re
ligions together, Vempati said.
“India is a secular country, there
fore there is no national religion,” he
said. “Diwali brings people from all
the religions together in communal
harmony.”
The celebration here, hosted by
the India Association, will feature
Indian dancing, a traditional Indian
meal, a “fancy dress show” for the
children and an Indian art presenta
tion, Vempati said.
“There will be some classical In
dian dance, and the fancy dress
show will feature some children
dressed in our culturalaiiit
