First Blog Post

My name is Julius Lietuvninkas.  I am a sophomore History/Secondary Ed major.  My experience with history is slightly limited.  I took a WRA class that was centered around history and we were required to write an extensive research paper where we had to interview someone who was affected by WWII.  This is where my interest in history is.  I enjoy studying Pre-, During-, and Post-WWII European and American History.  This time period is most interesting for me because I am Lithuanian and my family was directly affected by this major time in history.  If it weren't for the war, I would not be here sitting and typing this blog.  My grandparents had to flee Lithuania to escape the terrible power of the Russian and German armies.  That's pretty much it.
