In this episode, we learn about Mike Schroeder's grandfather who had the opportunity to "sit out" the war from the comfort of the United States but instead went back to Europe to save his girlfriend, who later became his wife; their epic love story and journey spanned Europe, Asia and North America, with crucial intervention from diplomats in the Netherlands and Japan.  It's no wonder that Mike teaches international studies as faculty of American University's School of International Service with this incredible background. Enjoy!
