Today marks the 25-year anniversary of an extremely significant event in Orthodox world history. On March 24th, 1999, NATO, under the direction of the United States, began Operation Allied Force, a bombing campaign to intervene and end the Yugoslav-Kosovo war. This illegal intervention lasted from until June 10th, 1999, leading to the deaths of 1,008 service members, injuring 5,000 more, and martyring 2,000 civilians along with an estimated 12,000 injured.
