    - Born in Lithuania

    - Enlisted in the US army in 1943
    - was shot in the leg and captured by German forces in 1944 Holland.
    - spent the rest of the war in a prison camp, was tortured on multiple occasions.
    - became walking impaired for the rest of his life due to the injury.
    - had a family of his own after the war and lost them all in a house fire.
    - after my grandmother passed away when my dad was young, he still managed to take in and raise my dad and his siblings rather than leaving them with my alcoholic abusive grandfather.
    - passed away in the 70s unexpectedly, but I owe him my thanks for giving my father a safe upbringing for a large portion of his childhood in spite of all the trauma he suffered in his own life.
    My grandmother' s parents were from Lithuania as well. Mostly Vilnius and Kaunas areas, some from the Baltic sea coast. My GG was a coal miner who worked in the Midwest and was killed in one of the mines.

    My great grandpa met my great grandma during WWI through letters: at that time many italian single women from all over the country used to send letters to cheer up soldiers during the battlefront.
