Not all the Serbs living in Kosovo agreed with this ethnic cleansing and there were many who opposed it. But the scars and hatred will take a long time to heal. The United Nations is making great strides in this area. The pride of being a police officer has been instilled in the newly formed Kosovo Police Services Officer. The people of Kosovo are happy the United Nations is here.
Progress is slow but steady.
Elections have taken place and the municipal government is now in place. Much work is still ahead for the 52 nations participating in this mission. I am proud to be part of this mission and more proud of being an American than ever before. When I walk the streets of Kosovo and people see the American Flag on my shoulder they come up to me and thank me for America saving them. Children come up to me just to touch me as if I were a celebrity.
