"Wonderful day at the village of Pranjani in Serbia celebrating the 75th anniversary of Operation Halyard, the subject of my book "The Forgotten 500". I presented [Serbia's] President Vucic and President of the Parliament Gojkovic with first editions of the book. Met many relatives of those rescued and those who aided the downed airmen, gave interviews, signed lots of books, donated books to the village school and church, and the day before I appeared on the Serbian equivalent of Good Morning America. Staying at the beautiful Hotel Moscow in Belgrade and enjoying this vibrant city."
