Tap the gear icon above to manage new release emails.
Chuck Banks was born in northern Indiana two years after WWII ended. It was a period of recovery from the two World Wars and then the Korean War. The Cold War followed. He experienced the fear and anxiety of a civilian living in a world where unstoppable nuclear missiles were only 30 minutes away at all times and world leaders were constantly threatening each other. Russia’s Nikita Khrushchev even emphasized his threats by pounding on the table at the United Nations with his shoe! Chuck developed a deep need to help protect his country and its people from the terrors of Communist giants bent on world domination. He completed his education and became a fighter pilot in time to participate in the last year of the Vietnam war. The rest of his career was spent training and preparing for the possibility of more wars, hoping that our preparedness would deter the start of one.
