Escape speaker questions courage in flight from Czechoslovakia
Michael Van Horn told Fleet Officers' Wives at Allen Center that his escape was not heroism but survival. He, an explosive speaker, described life in the United States after 15 years here and warned against apathy toward communist regimes. He cited Czechoslovakia’s 1918 constitution, Nazi invasion in 1938, 1945 briefly restored freedom, and Soviet 1948 occupation, urging vigilance on free elections and democratic ideals.
