Macedonian Heroes

The Macedonian Patriotic Organization today expressed its profound sorrow over the deaths of eleven (11) members of the Army of the Republic of Macedonian who tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash minutes away from landing at the Alexander the Great International Airport near Skopje on January 11, 2008.

Returning from successfully completing the European Union's peacekeeping mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Macedonian service members who lost their lives represent some of the finest people in the Macedonian Army. Their participation in the EU's Bosnia Mission is a testament to the progress that the Republic of Macedonia has made since it gained its independence and demonstrates that Macedonia and its people are working to secure further stability and peace in the region. The Republic of Macedonia and all Macedonians throughout the world should be proud of these brave souls for the sacrifices that they made for Macedonia and for regional peace and stability. Bog Da Prosti.
