This is the story of my survival, adventures, experiences, and insights about geopolitics and changing worldviews from before World War II Lithuania to Soviet occupation and my escape and evasion through wartime in Displaced- Persons Camp in Kempten, Germany for four years and my immigration to the United States of America in 1949. Five years later, having graduated from the Citadel Military College, I was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant and a BS Degree. (later acquired MS from U. of Dayton and Dr. from U. of Southern California) in the US Air Force and participated in the Cold War as combat crew member of Strategic Air Command's Bombers B-52 and B-58.


Then I had a stint with research and development of F-111 weapons systems at Wright Air Development Center and about a year in Southeast Asian war (Vietnam) with an F-111 fighter-bomber detachment.

Finally, I retire to cool my heels in the warm waters of the Pacific Rim in Southern California's Rancho Palos Verdes as a freelance writer.
