Representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as the U.S. and French Embassies met atop a mountain, above the Sarajevo field, to lay wreaths at the Mount Igman Memorial on Aug. 19, 2016. Twenty-one years after they lost their lives in 1995 while coming down the steep and curvy cobble stone road while on a peace mission in Sarajevo, officials gathered to honor the sacrifice of three U.S. diplomats – Assistant Defense Secretary Joseph Kruzel, Special Envoy for Former Yugoslavia Robert Frasure and U.S. Air Force Col. Samuel Nelson Drew – and a French soldier, Stephan Reault. The memorial ceremony took place at the location where these four brave men were killed, remembering also their role in finalizing the war. It is the same road the creator of the Dayton Agreement, Richard Holbrooke described in the introduction part of his memoir book “To End a War” as the most dangerous in Europe.
