(A message from this user, posted by her husband while she is fighting in Ukraine - luckily have her by phone finally) But as she requested I comment - it means nothing in the grand scheme of things, but all I can do is thank you and everyone who has spoken up, pitched in, etc. It's been...maybe nearly a week and a half since myself and my mates arrived and it has been h***. Fighting like h*** to send families west and eventually across the border while staying ourselves - it gets a little iffy when it comes to our mental health. I figured my military life was finally over, but here I am being sucked back in, albeit for a good reason. What is helpful now is to keep info-bombing Russian citizens when possible (we know it's hard for them to recieve REAL news), and to send medical supplies, baby supplies, and money to organizations who will get it here (also Docs without borders is an organization i personally adore). If you can, open your homes to refugees as we have in my absence. And keep cheering us on - myself and these goofballs served 2 tours before but it never gets easier/better. And finally, you go Cort - you make this stuff possible for us, as we can't be completely effective until civilian safety is assured. Wish us luck, and keep on being awesome, yall.
Finally off hiatus, getting back into the swing of things as fast as I can!
