I send to People of Ukraine & All Friends - a chance snapshot from Colorado. From a very special road trip. Running Dog Mountain. A fleeting moment of sky over the strong bones of the earth, magic from our ancestors! #Ukraine #Poland #Finland #Latvia #Lithuiana #Estonia

Now the People of Ukraine have become legend "Ordinary" people doing extraordinary things xitter.cf/EuromaidanPress/status… #Ukraine
A Ukrainian recruit speaks: We are ordinary We are ordinary… utterly unremarkable. It’s as if someone took a large container of people, sifted out all the exceptional ones, and brought the rest - the ordinary folks - to our barracks. My platoon is a mix of everyday professionals: an IT specialist, a welder, an electrician, a window company owner, a yoga instructor, an air conditioning store manager, a dump truck driver, a boat captain, a doctoral student, an engineer who designed ore factories, and many others. We eat porridge, swear, dislike Zelenskyy (or curse Poroshenko), struggle through marching drills in the scorching heat, run endlessly, and groan through morning exercises. There are no heroes here, no Schwarzeneggers, no Harvard boys, no patriotic orators, no super-soldiers. We’re simply Ukrainian soldiers, learning the craft of warfare. We learn how to kill. We try to do it well, but it happens as it happens. These are the only soldiers you'll get. There will always be ordinary soldiers, and they will carry out their difficult military duties. No one else will do it for them. Accept us and love us as we are. Unshaven, dirty, sweaty, exhausted, angry and irritable. I'm uncertain about our future. My beliefs have been shaken. Yet, I know that today at evening formation, we held a minute of silence that made the air resonate, followed by a thunderous “Glory to the Heroes” that echoed across the vast steppe. It wasn't forced; it came from deep within us, from the heart and soul. If you’ve lost faith in God or the devil, in victory, or in miracles, believe in the men and women standing guard in these steppes. There are no other gods. There are only ordinary people. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers. If they vanish, everything will vanish with them. Text: Oleksandr Babych (translated by Euromaidan Press) Art: Maksym Mazur

December 20 1943 Charlie Brown pilots a badly damaged B-17 over German skies ... Franz Zigler did not shoot them down in his BF-109, but escorted them to safety And then of course, we have Snoopy & the Red Baron ... youtube.com/watch?v=sh-J4GSP… #Ukraine

Ukrainian carol from the snowy frontline! 🎄 You’ve surely heard many versions of #Shchedryk / ‘Carol of the Bells’ but this one is very special. We pass you Merry Christmas from our warriors who are protecting what we love every day. Video: 67th Mechanised Brigade

True story! Though so far, X wont let it go past my own profile Over the weekend US VP Vance & SoW Hegseth attended the Marines' 250th anniversary celebration at Camp Pendleton California. The events included a live artillery fire exercise over a major highway. The California governor closed the highway, a move rudely criticized by the White House & the governor's California political rival A police car & a police motorcycle on the highway were hit by shrapnel It's not known if Mr Vance & Mr Hegseth successfully completed weapons safety training during their military time #Ukraine
