Dear Supporters,

Today is the 75th anniversary of Operation Halyard, the largest rescue mission of American airmen in history.

In 1944, over 500 US airmen were successfully rescued from German-occupied Yugoslavia thanks to the heroic efforts of the Serbian people.

We ask that you forward this petition and collect additional signatures for Serbian Christians in Kosovo in honor of the great historic ties between the United States and the Serbian people.

Thank you for your continued support!
