    Fluent in five languages and an accomplished athlete, Valdas Admakus is a true renaissance man. Born in Lithuania in 1926, he joined the youth resistance movement after the Nazis invaded his country in 1939, and fought the Red Army after the war ended. In exile in America, Adamkus worked his way up through the EPA to become Midwest Regional Administrator. He eventually returned to Lithuania, and became President of the small Baltic nation.
