Remembering Halyard Mission Veteran Major Richard L. Felman U.S.A.F. - A Tireless Warrior for the Truth
Aleksandra's Note: It's been 20 years since Major Richard Felman of the U.S.A.F. left us. This dynamic, unforgettable man was one of the Halyard Mission American rescues of 1944 who spent the rest of his life honoring the people who saved him and over 500 of his brothers from the Nazis in World War Two. He was determined to repay the "debt of gratitude" to General Draza Mihailovich, his Chetniks, and the Serbian people loyal to them, and he succeeded. As the daughter of a Chetnik who knew who General Mihailovich was from the time I was a child, people like Felman would naturally become personal heroes to me. Even in death, he remains an inspiration to get the word out so that others may know and appreciate an important part of history that has remained in the shadows for too long.
Born at the end of May in 1921 and dying just after Veteran's Day in 1999, his passing remains a great loss. I miss him still. Loyal and dedicated, with a fierce and true sense of purpose, Major Felman was truly a tireless warrior that deserves the title of "Hero".
Sincerely,
Aleksandra Rebic

Thanksgiving
*****
He never stopped. It became his mission in life. For 55 years, over half a century, Major Richard L. Felman of the United States Air Force worked ceaselessly to do one thing: to repay a debt of gratitude and to say "Thank You" in a most meaningful way.
As we in America just commemorated Veteran’s Day and are celebrating our Thanksgiving holiday, it is our turn to remember and say “Thank You”...

Ping.
The “debt of gratitude” to General Draza Mihailovich, his Chetniks, and the Serbian people loyal to them” is one owed to the Serbian people by all Americans...And repaid by Pres. Clinton with bombs!
Shame on those who ordered this be done...Thank you for your continued postings about Gen. Mihailovich and the Chetniks...
There was a book about this called The Forgotten 500.
Memory Eternal!!!!
