On Veterans' Day



Although this is an annual US anniversary honoring the members of the Armed Forces that fought for and defended freedom around the world, Albania and some Albanians are also in the news on this day. They played a part during the conflicting times of WWII, and can share their sacrifices in the name of liberty and self-determination.  

One particular incident, well remembered by Albanians in Albania, and talked about when foreigners visit the country’s historical sites and see some of the ruins of war, came to light abroad only in more recent years, as described in this article, and, apparently, even a book has been written about it.
