The Last Member of the Forgotten 500 Halyard Mission Video
Vimeo ^ | March 31, 2010 | Interviewer: Vladimir Bibic

Art Jibilian, the last US member of the WWII Halyard Mission passed away last week. But before he died, there was a video made of his testimony that was just posted to Vimeo today and it is well worth watching. Jibby tells the story of what happened not only in WWII, but of his struggles to get credit for those Serbs who saved him.

The video is kind of wonky until the 27 second mark, so just advance to there to begin watching.

Wow. Thanks for posting this.

Anyone reading this who's a Freeper and Patriot, make the time to watch this. It's worth it.

I'm grateful for the unsung heroes who have handed me the freedom's I enjoy; at the expense of their blood, sweat, tears and lives.

Too many commie sympathizers and apologists on FR for everyone to acknowledge his bravery and the selfless acts of Draza Mihailovic.

Reagan was one who understood what Draza Mihailovic stood for.

Wow. Thanks for posting this.

You are welcome, rpierce. I was so happy that they got one of the Halyard heroes on video about what happened, especially a lovable rascal like Jibilian.

In many ways, Jibilian's and the Rescued Airmen's story tells us all what we are up against in getting out the truth of anything in this era, when no one in government wants to hear it or tell it.
