Thomas "Drago" Dzieran grew up in Communist Poland. He realized he was being fed lies and propaganda as a boy when he got in big trouble at school for asking simple questions about the government. As a young man, he became actively involved in the Solidarity movement and in spreading anti-Communist messages. His activities landed him in prison and he was eventually expelled from Poland.Poland's loss was America's gain. In 1984, Drago Dzieran came to the U.S. Seven years later he became an American citizen - what he still considers his greatest accomplishment - and soon joined the U.S. Navy. A short time later he began BUD/s training and became a Navy SEAL.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Drago shares tremendous detail about his life behind the Iron Curtain, the grueling process to become a SEAL, and his three back-to-back deployments in Iraq. He will also tell us about his SEAL teams pursuing high-value targets and the toll that work took on his health.Finally, Drago shares what it was like returning to SEAL training as an instructor and why he enthusiastically loves the United States. It's an infectious enthusiasm will likely make you even prouder to be an American.

Drago was born in Poland while under Communist rule. His father was a devout Communist who eventually became high-ranking Communist government official. Drago was never swayed by his father's ideology and pressure to accept the Marxist/Communist ideology, and eventually was sent to prison for opposing Communist regime in Poland. After spending time in a Communist prison as a political prisoner for his activism against agains censorship, oppression and depravity of Communist regime, he immigrated to the United States in 1984. Drago became a US citizen in 1991.  After the first Persian War broke out, he enlisted in US Navy and became a Navy SEAL. He believes that it was his moral obligation to support in the best possible way his new Country that adopted him and gave him freedom. Dzieran was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. Following his honorable retirement after twenty years in the Navy, Drago began a successful career as a software engineer.

Retired Navy SEAL Drago Dzieran has a complicated past. Before serving twenty years at the Tip of the Spear, he was a political prisoner in his home country of Poland after they assumed Communist rule. After immigrating to America, he became a citizen, joined the military, and not long after started serving with Jocko Willink over at SEAL Team 2, before eventually transitioning to SEAL Team 4. He's operated all over the world, stopped a lot of bad guys, and even archived his travels in his memoir 'The Pledge to America: One Man's Journey from Political Prisoner to U.S. Navy SEAL'.  What makes a man move away from his home to fight for another? What was Jocko like on SEAL Team 2? And what does the future have in store for Drago Dzieran?

In this special Veteran's Day episode, I get to talk with Drago Dzieran.  Drago immigrated to the United States in 1984 with ten cents in his pocket after being a political prisoner in Communist Poland.  We cover Drago's story in his book, "The Pledge to America."  My takeaway is that with hard work, determination, and a will to overcome, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to if you live in America.  Drago came to America, not speaking English and started working to pay his rent as a janitor at a local church.  Fast forward a few decades and Drago has retired after a career in the Navy Seals, he's married and has a family and works as a software engineer.  As Drago says over and over, his story is only possible in America. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/orangeshoe/message

Drago Dzieran was born in Poland while under Communist rule. After spending time in a Communist prison (also known as a Gulag) as a political prisoner for his activism against against censorship, he immigrated to the United States in 1984, becoming a full U.S. Citizen in 1991. That same year he joined the Navy, where he'd go on to be assigned to SEAL Team 2, SEAL Team 4, and Naval Special Warfare as a BUD/S Instructor. He's been awarded the Bronze Star Medal, The Navy Commendation Medal, and the Army Commendation Medal, among others.  Since then, Drago's helped to found The Navy SEALs Fund, freedom-of-speech platform ConnectZing, and written a book about his experiences called 'The Pledge To America: One Man's Journey from Political Prisoner to U.S. Navy SEAL'. His story serves as a reminder that America's a country of builders - people who can come together, from far and wide, and build a life for themselves and their family with a little bit of hard work and some good old-fashioned elbow grease. But how did he escape a Communist Gulag? What led him to enlist to fight on behalf of another country? And how the hell did Drago get to be so damn tough?

“The Pledge to America” author Drago Dzieran grew up under the oppressive socialist/communist government in Poland. The book describes his journey from political prisoner to a Navy SEAL. Drago says that “The Pledge to America” was not intended to be a “SEAL book”. Rather, his reasoning for writing the book was to provide a lens for fellow Americans to recognize how special our country is. Drago had a rough upbringing in poverty and soon turned to violence as a survival mechanism. He even extorted the children of wealthy party members to bring extra food to school for the children who had nothing to eat. Visits from the secret police were not uncommon. Drago cites an example of how government controlled everything. When his father deserted his family, his mother sought to move closer to her relatives. She had to get permission from the government to make the move. After being thrown in prison for his involvement in an underground anti-government newspaper, he was eventually released and applied for political asylum in America. When he finally arrived in the United States, all he had was a bag of clothes and ten cents in his pocket. He has high praise for the church members who took him in and supported his transition. He cites this kindness as the inspiration that made him want to be the best American citizen he could be. When the U.S. was attacked, Drago felt compelled to join the military as a way of repaying the freedoms that America had granted him. He served 20 years in the Navy and developed new breaching methods that are used to this day. He also founded the Navy SEALS Fund. The Pledge to America is a great read with the perfect combination of humor, inspiration and cautionary tales. TAKEAWAY: “My chance to live as a free man is ONLY possible because of the ideals the founding fathers fought for and have been carried forward to this day by Americans. I would like to say thank you to all Americans for my freedom.”

Today's guest is Drago Dzieran. Drago is an author, entrepreneur, retired Navy SEAL, and former political prisoner.  Born in communist Poland, Drago immigrated to the United States in 1984 after being imprisoned for his political activism against the oppressive regime. Drago enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1991. Over his 20 years in the SEAL Teams, he served as a member of SEAL Team 2, SEAL Team 4, and as a BUD/s Instructor. He took part in over 100 combat missions in Iraq, earning the Bronze Star Medal with Valor, the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor, and the Army Commendation Medal.   After his military retirement, Drago started a career as a software engineer. Additionally, he founded the Navy SEALs Fund – Brotherhood Beyond Battlefield, a nonprofit organization focused on reducing the financial burden of all UDT/SEAL teammates, including Gold Star Families who need assistance. He also founded ConnectZing, a censorship-free social media network.  Drago's memoir, The Pledge to America: One Man's Journey from Political Prisoner to U.S. Navy SEAL, is out now.

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. Highlighting the intervention of Pope John Paul II and his influential role in Poland, Drago offers viewers a profound first-hand perspective of life under socialism and the immeasurable sacrifices individuals made in pursuit of truth and freedom. Plus, reflections on the Global War on Terror and why war requires MONSTERS.  This isn't merely a coffee talk. It's a tale of resilience, the essence of the human spirit, and an unyielding quest for freedom.

(4:08) • The law was created in the socialist state to penalize free thinking. To criminalize opposition. (4:29) • America was built on the idea of personal freedom. (7:10) • [In the Ukraine] freedom is being taken away from them slowly. (8:37) • These people [Ukranians] are fighting for their lives now - freedom. (10:16) • We have former Generals saying that the Russians – “these poor souls don't know they're at war. They think they are on exercises.” You have to be an imbecile to repeat something like this. You have to be an idiot. (11:32) • [Ukranians] They want to be free, and our media is lying about it. (12:53) • Ukranians were always very patriotic. (13:10) • [Navy SEALS Fund] The way we operate is different than most charities. We don't have paid positions. The fund is run by SEALS only. (35:57) • We help the Gold Start families: the spouse, the children, parents and siblings. (43:19) • We need to do something right then. We don't need to send it through this board of “Lets talk about it when we meet next month. (44:27) There would be no Drago if not for people like Marcus, Morgan, Rob, Tage, Taco, & Jocco.

It was actually a socialist state run by communists. My father was part of the evil system. (7:13) • When the first Persian Gulf war broke out, I thought it was my moral obligation to support my country (8:35) • I'm not Polish-American; I am not “Something”-American. There is no hyphen. I'm just American. (8:50) • I could not build a job for my fellow citizens, but I could defend them. (8:56) • I spent 20 years as a Navy SEAL. (9:22) • For my father, it was first to obey the government. (10:28) • [My grandmother] taught me how to pray, and what to pray for. (11:25) • [My grandmother told me] “[The communists] kill people and imprison people for their beliefs. (11:52) • I still remember her [grandmother's] words: “Poland is not free. It will not be free until we get rid of these people. (12:01) • [When my father found out] I was not allowed to pray with my grandmother alone. (12:45). • Pre-war Poland had one of the strongest Navy's in the Baltic Sea. (16:55) • Prison time for me was education. A huge education about Polish history. (27:36) • [My father] believed that we need to convince people to socialism, because it offers such great things, but if we can't, we have the power to eliminate these people. We call them enemies of the state. (30:47) • Even today, while Poland is free, some of them are being prosecuted. (38:17) • I'll be the best US citizen America can have. (42:11) • American is built on goodness. (47:32) • You can live in the United States without being a citizen, but I wanted to be American. (56:02)

He performed over one hundred combat direct action missions as an NSW Lead Breacher while deployed to Iraq in 2003, 2004, and 2005, where he developed new breaching methods and a specialized breaching charge that minimized fragmentation and reduced potential injuries to non-combatants on target. This breaching charge allowed SEAL assault elements a smaller stand-off distance from the explosive breach and became widely used by SEALs throughout Iraq, saving many non-combatants' lives. Dzieran was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with “V” Device for Valor, the Navy Commendation Medal with “V” Device for Valor, and the Army Commendation Medal, along with other awards and decorations.   The Pledge to America Book linkSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
