Yes! 👍🏽 You need to keep doing it for the Great Country Of Ukraine 🇺🇦 and her people. Most Importantly, Letting the world know what the Russians do as they have for centuries, torturing, raping,murdering innocent good decent men, women, children and babies and continuing to kidnap Ukrainian children. You give us hope across the pond that we need to learn to fight like the Ukrainian Defenders and those many before you fought to keep their precious FREEDOM. You are an inspiration to those still out there in the trenches. Keep telling the world what the true evilness of the Russian Federation is capable of and how much Putin is FAILING FALLING and FLAILING LIKE A FISH out of the water. After all that you have gone through you can still smile, laugh and be blessed that you are with your family. I’m sure you have moments that can overwhelm a man, just like when my father went to WWll, begging his Mom and Dad to go fight like his brothers all did at age 16. My Dad turned 17 and was a radio operator on board of the U.S.C.G.C. Duane, and stormed the beaches of Normandy to make it to the trenches when so many of the other soldiers didn’t. He lost his childhood best friend to that war. My Dad had to call the first airstrike in, knowing that his older brother was a pilot in one of those planes. For years, he would call his brother up and apologize to him for having to call him in. That would always be a very difficult day for years in my Dad’s life. Five son’s of my Dad’s family went to war and five came home. My Dad believed strongly in fighting for the Democracy and Freedoms of our Allies. He wanted to liberate those fellow countries and free them from the evils of Hitler and his Nazi Regime. On board of the ship, the guys were given rations of Hershey chocolate bars and cigarettes. All the guys would find my Dad quickly because he only cared about the chocolate bars and would trade his cigarette allotment for those delicious chocolate bars. After the war he became a smoker because of what he went through and drank a couple of beers 🍺 once in a great while. Dad gave up the smoking in his 40’s but you didn’t dare eat his chocolate bars. Lol! He always had a smile on his face and a great sense of humor. So much patience and would teach my brother and I how to fix all kinds of things. Dad would be in his workshop playing his music from the Big Band Era and taught me how to jitterbug dance 💃🏻. He taught us to have the upmost respect 🫡🇺🇸/🇺🇦for the soldiers who fought for our freedoms and to honor the ones who gave their lives for us. I have always thanked a veteran or currently serving military personnel for serving our country. Now, I just hope and pray they don’t turn on us and kill us like ICE has been doing to innocent legal immigrants and those born in the once great U.S.A. 🇺🇸. He lived to be 91 years old and had a very good life. Loved my Mom,(they were married for 67 years), and us kids and let us know how much we meant to him. My brother has his uniform and duffle bag and I have the bayonet and leather cover taken from a German Soldier that I presume he eliminated. My upmost respect 🫡🇺🇦 to you for serving Ukraine🇺🇦!

That was my first heartbreak 💔 and sense of reality of what was really going on in Ukraine 🇺🇦 When Roman was murdered. The valiant act of his teammates, their sorrow fueled anger and determination to bring him back to his family which they did. Then learning about his history of efforts to fight the evilness of Russia which I realized how he began with his voice and actions with the brave strong tenacity of the, “Ukrainian Unbreakable Spirit.” My heart was full of sorrow and anger. For days I cried. It still haunts me to this day.
