“WWII Prisoner of War: How I Survived”

Now Available

Falling out of the sky was only the beginning. 

“WWII Prisoner of War: How I Survived” is the story of young American airman, Second Lt. Len Kovar, a B-24 Bombadier from Carmichael, CA shot down over Eastern Europe on a beautiful day in 1943.

This candid, first person account of terror behind enemy lines, capture and imprisonment in Nazi Stalag prisoner of war camps begins on a sunny day at 20,000 feet. It takes readers into the muddy encampments and freezing death marches prisoners of war faced as Russian forces advanced across Eastern Europe.  Second Lt. Len Kovar shares the strategies that kept him and others alive as they struggled to survive each day. Like the infamous Pacific Theater’s Bataan Death March, hundreds of U.S. and Allied prisoners died as Nazi captors force-marched them through one of the worst European winters ever recorded to Stalag Prison Camps deep inside German lines.

Len Kovar provides a candid story of survival, his personal struggle to endure and a unique insight into the minds of prisoners and German soldiers following orders of their Nazi leaders. Kovar’s tale features photographs taken with a smuggled camera inside the Stalag razor wire and barracks of Nazi P.O.W. camps before VE Day.

Like many of the soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen of World War II, Len Kovar came home from his service a changed man. As this ‘Greatest Generation’ passes into history, this may be one of the final documented stories of a WWII POW’s courageous survival. Falling into Fascist-occupied territory, Kovar relied on his personal belief in God, making a bargain to survive and live to share his faith with others when he got home…alive.  “WWII Prisoner of War: How I Survived” helps recall how victory is won in the singular stories of the men and women who served. Get to know this WWII hero at http://powhowisurvived.com

Author: Second Lt. Len Kovar with special thanks to his mother for keeping accurate notes and memories of his days Missing In Action and as P.O.W.  156 pages, ISBN 978-0-9845424-8-2 Available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble or visit http://kohopono.com/?page_id=955.com to order. $16.95.

Get a veterans discount from Verizon Wireless

Here's how to save some money on your Verizon Wireless (Vzw) bill every month. Just in case you didn't know, Vzw offers veterans a monthly discount of 15% off your voice plan and 12% off your data plan. And accessories are 25% off. Here's how it works. Let's say that you and your non-veteran spouse have a $70 family plan and you each have smartphones with $30 data plans each. If you are the primary account holder then your part of the voice plan is $60 and your spouse's is $10. You get $9 (15%) off plus another $3.60 (12% of your data plan) off every month for a total monthly savings of $12.60. If your non-veteran spouse is the primary account holder, change it to your name first to reap the maximum in savings. Call Vzw (the number is on your bill) to get a form and fax (or mail) it with a copy of your DD214 and start saving money.

I don't know if the other big carriers (AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile) have similar veterans discounts, but it would not surprise me if they do as well. If you're not with Vzw, call your cell phone carrier and inquire as to whether they have a veteran's discount. If you find one, please post the details here.

For Verizon, this pertains to just Vzw, not land lines, TV or Internet.

Happy Veterans Day on Friday. Remember to put out your flag(s).
