THIS BOOK IS dedicated to my husband Ilija, daughter Aleksia, and son Dejan. Thank you for your support and for giving me the time and space to tell this story. Your encouragement means the world to me.
It is also dedicated to my parents, brother and niece, +Vlasto, Milka, Milos and Milijana. For my entire life, you have encouraged me to fulfill my dreams. Thank you for recognizing something in me that I didn’t always see for myself.
Last, but definitely not least, this book is dedicated to the five hundred US Military Airmen shot down in Nazi Occupied Yugoslavia during WWII as well as to the Serbian Chetniks and US Military who rescued them. Their sacrifices for freedom and justice should never be forgotten.
