In Grenada there is a national holiday of Thanksgiving Day on October 25. It is unrelated to holidays in the United States and Canada even though it bears the same name. It marks the anniversary of the US led invasion of the island in 1983 in response to the illegal deposition and execution of Grenadan Prime Minister Maurice Bishop. .
