#282 - Drago Dzieran From Communist Poland to the US Navy SEALS
In this episode of the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast, we are honored to host Navy SEAL Drago Dzieran. A Polish immigrant who made America his cherished home, Drago unravels the tumultuous time in Poland when dissent against the communist and socialist regime reached its zenith. He vividly describes the sweeping arrests that engulfed Poland in a single night and details his transformation from a brave activist to a prisoner of conscience. But Drago's journey did not end there. He delves into his harrowing yet hopeful transition from Poland to the heart of America. Facing insurmountable adversities in his homeland, from frequent abductions to grueling interrogations by government agents, his indomitable spirit sought refuge in the land of opportunity and freedom. He warmly recalls his time in a German refugee center, his aspiration for sunnier horizons, and his fondness for Elvis Presley's Memphis, Tennessee. With merely a bag of clothes and unparalleled grit, Drago embarked on a new life in the US. This included becoming a skilled Mercedes mechanic, a skydiving instructor, and eventually, against all odds, a decorated US Navy SEAL.
