Veteran of the Week - Pat Colleps

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TX -- This week’s Veteran is Pat Colleps, who served in the U.S. Navy from 1982 - 1985. Pat was always on ships being part of a combat team as a photographer, or a photo documentation specialist. Pat was deployed to Grenada during ‘Operation Urgent Fury,’ when the U.S. military invaded the island nation to rescue 600 U.S. medical students on the island, since President Ronald Reagan feared a repeat of the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Pat is adamant at the difference in how the American media covered the war, versus what he saw boots on the ground in Grenada. Good Luck Pat, and Congratulations on being ‘Veteran of the Week’.
