He got his three score and ten

Another hero of WW2 has departed. George Vujnovich passed away at the age of 96. George helped orcestrate the rescue of 500 pilots and air crew who had been shot down over Yugoslavia during raids on Romania. As with Bill Ruger, this hero did not wear a uniform. his contrinutions though, in the OSS saved the lives of many men who did.
The ranks of veterans from WW2 is shrinking. There are many untold stories, both of heroism, and humor, the monotony of life in uniform. The world owes a debt to these men. Many were freed by them. Saddly, many in Russia, eastern Europe, and China were left to perish. They didn't save the entire world, only what they were asked to save. Had they been called upon to do so, I am confident that men like Vujnovich would have marched to Kamchaka.
What interested me most was that he worked with Draza Mihailovich and the Chetniks instead of the slavic communists. it is apparent to me that we could have saved Yugoslavia from communinsm had we wanted to. Instead, we saved our pilots, and abandoned the people.
GOD blessed George with a long life. Rest easy George, you earned it.
