"Jueri and Margareta immigrated to the United States with 2 children, a piano and $10, and Jueri received his American physician’s license in 1955 in Chicago. Although private practice was his original aim, Jueri was drafted into the Army Reserve at age 34 as a Captain. He decided to make the Army his career, served throughout the world for a long and illustrious 35 years and retired as a Colonel in 1981. He served as a Flight Surgeon and earned a Masters in Hospital Administration in 1970 from Baylor University. Jueri served in Vietnam in 1965-66 and created the Air Mobile Surgical Pod, an airborne surgical room, flown directly by helicopter into the battlefield to aid wounded soldiers. He had top-secret clearance for many years and served at the highest government echelons for operations during the Cold War. His destinations included Germany, Austria, Ethiopia, Turkey, Italy, Greece, Scotland and Iran. His tours of duty with his family included many in the United States as well as overseas. Among his many honors are the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star (for gallantry in Vietnam), the Meritorious Service Medal, the Air Medal (for combat flying), the Joint Service and Army Commendation Medals, the Armed Forces Service and Vietnam Service Medals, the National Defense Service Medal, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, the Reserve Service Medal and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm (for combat). He also earned two Presidential Citation Badges. After retirement, Jueri worked for the Texas Rehabilitation Commission as a physician consultant for fourteen years."

P82 Betty Jo     The amazing journey of Betty Jo

...My dad's rank at retirement was full Colonel.
He was a Lt. Colonel when he flew the Betty Jo.
The photos were taken by staff at the Air Force
Museum in Dayton, Ohio. He went back there a couple
of years ago and they allowed him to get back in the
cockpit of the plane he had made a world record in back
in 1947. It definitely was a special day for him.
