  • Mckinley Honors Serbian Contributions in Two World Wars
    September 16, 2010 Log # 10-52 For Immediate Release McKinley honors Serbian contributions in two world wars By Army Staff Sgt. Jim Greenhill National Guard Bureau MOUNT AVALA, Serbia - Honoring Serbian contributions in two world wars, Air Force Gen. Craig McKinley, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, placed a wreath at the Monument to the Unknown Hero here Sept. 11. "It was especially poignant today, on the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, when our nation was attacked, that I symbolically thanked the Serbian military for their support to the United States in World War I and World War II," McKinley said. McKinley is visiting Serbia with a delegation of Ohio National Guard members and observing National Guard State Partnership Program activities. Serbia is Ohio's SPP partner. "This is something which is very important to us," said Dragan Sutanovac, the Serbian Minister of Defense. "This is a message to the [Serbian] military. We appreciate it very much. This is something which, symbolically, means a lot." Sutanovac was the first Serbian defense minister to visit the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia in February. Though estimates vary, Serbian casualties in World War I may have been as high as 1.2 million, the majority of whom were civilians. The war decimated the country, killing more than 25 percent of its people and more than half its males, said Serbian and other sources. At least one million more Serbians may have died during World War II, said Serbian and other sources. -more- Serbians helped save the lives of 500 downed U.S.

  • Operation Halyard
    Operation Halyard George Vujnovich led what has been called "one of the greatest rescue missions of World War II." He passed away of natural causes in New York City on 24 APR at age 96. Vujnovich orchestrated Operation Halyard, also known as the Halyard Mission, which rescued 512 airmen whose B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators had been attacked by Nazi Luftwaffe aircraft during World War II. He served as an agent for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a U.S. intelligence organization that preceded the CIA. Vujnovich orchestrated Operation Halyard in 1944, stealthily rescuing a group of U.S. airmen who were stranded in Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia during the final years of World War II. But those who don't know his name can be forgiven, as the story of Vulnovich's greatest triumph was kept under wraps for over 60 years. A book about Operation Halyard, called "The Forgotten 500," was written by Gregory A. Freeman in 2007. In 2010, Vujnovich received a Bronze Star Medal of Honor for his work. Despite these recognitions, there was relatively little public knowledge about this Pittsburgh-born veteran. Now, Vujnovich's death has occasioned new interest in his extraordinary story. George Vujnovich Lt. 1944 Vujnovich was born to Serbian immigrants in 1915. He traveled to Belgrade for university studies, where he met his wife Mirjana. When Germany bombed the city in 1941, Vujnovich witnessed the carnage in person. He and his wife decided to flee Belgrade. On their way to Bulgaria, an outlandish coincidence helped them make their escape.

    SUMMER/FALL 2010 THE OSS SOCIETY JOURNAL OSS IN MANCHURIA SAUL STEINBERG “It’s a tribute to General Donovan that his OSS had the intelligence and imagination to employ art- ists who served around the world and produced outstanding art. Saul Steinberg, who served in China, Italy, and North Africa, drew 1,200 cartoons and 90 covers for The New Yorker. Henry Koerner created pro- paganda posters for the OWI and was the OSS chief illustrator at the Nuremberg Trials, photographed post-World War II Austria and Ger- many, and created many covers for Time.
