Thank you all for an amazing raffle last week. As I teased at the close of last week, we received a request from the 127th to provide tourniquets for 42 infantry and their drivers and reservists. Thanks to last week's raffle, we will be able to supply the infantry with the 2 TQs each they need! Needless to say, we will keep you updated as things progress.

Updates

It's been a very slow week for updates, sorry. We did get a "thank you" from our GUR unit for their new welder, though!

And the 3rd Assault Brigade sends their thanks you for the much-needed power station.

$2 Wishy-Washy Wednesday (Still. Again.)

This awesome mug is the star of this week's $2 pack, featuring three Ukrainian scenes. A cat-eye morale patch, Snake Island stamp set, and flork stickers join a hand-crocheted pillow made by the famous "Arcaist's mum".

$5 6th pack

The 6th Special Purpose Ranger Regiment sent a signed flag, SSO/SOF unit patch, an kick-ass SSO pin. A shell case keychain with engraved tryzub tops off this pack.

In closing:

If you haven't heard, there has been some political tension in Ukraine over the past month with resulting protests across the country. Needless to say, it's outside of my knowledge and scope to comment on the decisions, but I did want to share a thought...

Personally, I think that the response by the Ukrainian citizens gives us a clear insight into the people. In the middle of a long, brutal fight for survival against a bigger foe, the Ukrainians maintain their independence and their Westward focus. Not only are they breaking a once-world power in russia outside Ukraine, they simultaneously exercise their right to guide their own destiny within. I find this mindset of democracy so heartening in these times, especially when so many places around the world are in need of the same.

As always, we thank you for your continued support of the Ukrainian defenders.
