Maynus, Ohio Air National Guard Chief of Staff, Alexander Titolo, Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade, Brig. Gen. Matthew S. Woodruff, Adjutant General for Ohio National Guard, and Brig. Gen. Chris A. McKinney, Deputy Director of Partnering, Security Cooperation, and Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction for U.S. European Command, participate in a wreath-laying ceremony commemorating Operation Halyard at Galovica Field in Pranjani, Serbia, Sept. 19, 2025. The annual event commemorated the 81st anniversary of Operation Halyard, when a three-man Office of Strategic Services team coordinated with Serbian villagers to conduct the largest rescue of downed airmen in U.S. history, saving over 500 Allied aviators. Serbians risked their lives to hide U.S. personnel from German forces and helped return them to Allied control, highlighting the enduring partnership between the U.S. and Serbia.
