U.S. Embassy Delivers School Supplies to Pranjani Students

On Sunday, January 27, a detachment of U.S. Marine Security Guards assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade presented school supplies to the 352 students of the Ivo Andric Elementary School in Pranjani, Serbia. The supplies, which were donated and collected by the staff of the U.S. Embassy, were presented in commemoration of the Sveti Sava Slava celebration.

This event was another step in the developing relationship between the community surrounding Pranjani and the U.S. Embassy. In November 2007, Ambassador Cameron Munter visited Pranjani to honor Serb families who saved the lives of hundreds of U.S. airmen shot down during World War II. These U.S. airmen bear testimony to the significant sacrifices of local Serb villagers who fed, cared for and protected them, in some cases up to six months before their rescue during Operation Halyard. The Halyard Mission is considered one of the greatest rescues of American airmen from behind enemy lines in the history of warfare.

Američka ambasada dostavila školska sredstva učenicima Pranjana

Američki Marinici na službi u ambasadi SAD u Beogradu uručili su u nedelju 27. januara nastavna sredstva za 352 učenika osnovne škole "Ivo Andrić" u selu Pranjani. Ovu donaciju, koja je uručena na školski slavu Sveti Sava, omogućili su svojim prilozima zaposleni ambasade SAD.

Donacija predstavlja još jedan korak u razvoju uspešne saradnje lokalne zajednice Pranjani i američke ambasade. U novembru 2007. godine, ambasador Kameron Manter posetio je Pranjane da bi izrazio zahvalnost srpskim porodicima koje su spasile stotine američkih pilota oborenih od strane nacističkih snaga u Drugom svetskom ratu. Pripadnici Vazduhoplovnih snaga SAD posvedočili su o požrtvovanosti lokalnih srpskih seljana koji su ih hranili i štitili, u nekim slučajevima i do 6 meseci tokom spasilačke operacije Halijard. Operacija Halijard smatra se za jednu od najuspešnijih spasilačkih misija izvedenih iza neprijateljskih linija u istoriji ratovanja
