Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) delivers a one minute speech honoring the life and accomplishments of Arthur "Jibby" Jibilian.
Mr. Jibilian was a member of the United States Navy and the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the CIA. Operation Halyard, the largest allied airlift operation behind enemy lines during World War II, started in August of 1944 and ended in December 1944. More than 500 allied airmen were rescued from Nazi controlled territory in the hills of Yugoslavia. Mr. Jibilian also received a silver star with the OSS in Operation Columbia in 1944.
