From Poland to the U.S. Army
Born in Poland in 1948, Tom grew up amidst the tumultuous political landscape of the Cold War. His youthful dreams of becoming a pilot were shattered when he was denied entry into the Polish Air Force due to his political beliefs. Undeterred, he made the daring decision to flee his homeland and seek a new life in the United States.
In 1969, Tom arrived in America with nothing but a few dollars and a burning desire to serve. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and quickly distinguished himself as an exceptional soldier. His natural aptitude for mechanics and his unwavering bravery earned him a spot in the prestigious SOAR, where he would go on to become one of the most decorated winchmen in history.
A Winchman's Tale
As a winchman, Tom was responsible for operating the hoist and rappelling systems on SOAR's Black Hawk helicopters. His lightning-fast reflexes and impeccable coordination made him indispensable during combat operations. He participated in countless missions, from daring hostage rescues to covert insertions behind enemy lines.
Tom's unwavering determination was put to the test during the fateful hostage rescue mission in Iran known as Operation Eagle Claw. During the chaotic nighttime operation, Tom's helicopter was forced to abort its landing due to heavy enemy fire. Despite the intense danger, Tom remained calm and collected, using his expert skills to extract his wounded comrades from the crash site.
For his heroism during Operation Eagle Claw, Tom was awarded the Silver Star, one of the highest honors bestowed upon U.S. military personnel. However, his greatest satisfaction came from knowing that he had made a difference in the lives of his fellow soldiers and the hostages they had saved.
Beyond the Battlefield

He worked as a mercenary in various conflict zones around the world, including Bosnia, Angola, and the Middle East.
