Kazimierz Chomko, born in 1911, is an agent of peace. From 1939 to 1945, he was a soldier in the Polish Army, and acting under the Canadian flag he was a Tank Troop Commander. He landed on the Normandy Beach on D+6 and until the war ended, he was continuously in action. Deeply religious, Kaz did not want to kill. "When in battle my gunners did not shoot to kill the enemy, but shot overhead. Instinctively, the enemy soldiers threw themselves on the ground. The infantry unit moved swiftly to take them as prisoners. During my six year war experience I did not kill and I did not get killed. There must be something in that for the future generations!"
You will learn by listening to Drop Your Weapons how Kaz went through all the atrocities of World War II, yet emerged as an agent of peace. In Canada, since 1947, he worked as a farmhand, an insurance agent, a farmer, and he was ordained as a deacon in 1976. Today, he continues to share his wisdom and sense of humor with all those who cross his path.
