So in Grenada the other day they unveiled a memorial to the Grenadian soldiers that died - I think there were 14 names. Plus more Cubans can't remember how many. 14? And didn't your side lose 16? This sound right to you?

A total of 19 killed, 116 wounded on the  American side during operation including the SEALS who died at sea prior to the landing and in nine helicopters shot down.

I was given to understand that 45 Grenadians were killed.  That includes quite a few at the asylum, however.  They weren't soldiers.

Those are the ones we don't want to see. They are about the American invasion of Grenada!
