=>01 I met Mr. Krstovic while he was out walking in our neighborhood. Little did I know what a Diamond of a Precious Jewel was approaching me that morning.
Mike is one of the rare kind. May this web page serve as an awareness to all FREE People, a Thank You of Appreciation to him is in order. To me, it's a Debt of Gratitude Mr. Krstovic deserves at least to be paid for with the fullest of respect and the memory of his actions be recorded again and preserved as part of our History. Mike - I Salute You.
Folks, this is about History from a "first person" account.
The "movies" were taken on the spur of the moment. They are Not rehearsed nor staged. I do apologize to Mr. Krstovic for allowing light from windows to over ride the auto-brightness setting of my camera. To everyone else, I wanted spontaneous conversation with Mike. The "video" is raw, uncut, and unedited. A book is being written and published about Mike Krstovic and its title will be made available here when I learn of it. Then you can see the polished version.
The image - picture - portrait of Mike above at top left, suitable for printing, is available as a 300ppi 1972 width x 3288 height, 1.7MB download from: Mike-Krstovic-circa-1942-1944_300ppi1972x3288.jpg

At least enough for a disabled vet to afford taking Mike out to lunch as often as he feels up to it.
The 1389 picture Mike showed me in movie 04, is about the spirit of his Heritage (Serbia - Yugoslavia).
It depicts a famous scene from the Battlefield of Kosovo Polje ("Blackbirds' Field") when the Serbians were fighting off Islamic/Muslim Jihadist Invaders from the Ottoman Empire (turks). According to the web site
and is of a Serbian Maiden giving water to thirsting Knights. This is a web site everyone should take the time to visit and be aware of where Mr. Mike Krstovic drew the strength to be a HERO. A real one, living and walking among us.
Also, of interest to Serbs, perhaps: KOSOVO Land of the Living Past and SERB WORLD U.S.A. Magazine

A dozen (12) or more movie - video clips about Mike made on November 08, 2007 to be uploaded as soon as time permits. Plus, he has invited me to record more movies soon. We'll do those under the best lightning conditions possible along with some still pictures.
Videos - Movies taken with a Hitachi Hybrid Camcorder,
DVD-HDD, Model DZ-HS300A. Converted to Adobe (Macromedia) Flash *.FLV video format with SWiSHzone dot COM - SWiSHvideo 2 for upload to www.YouTube.com
The original "videos - movies" are archived in *.mpg format at a resolution of 640x480 and are not compressed as presented by YouTube to 425x350. The un-compressed version are much clearer with better detail. It's the nature of bandwidth cost, YouTube provides it gratis, else these would not be available if I had to pay for the bandwidth.
