We all had another blow this week; one of our volunteer contacts was killed in a russian double-tap. One may think that the constant stream of deaths would numb the pain, but it doesn't.

Updates

The 48th Artillery Brigade loves the filament you provided them!

Our friends in the 81st appreciate their new powerstation.

Our contact in the Black Talon Group (SSO unit) thanks you for the support.

Of course, our good friend in the Khyzhak Brigade appreciates your donation of defibrillator pads.

And definitely not last, the 13th Khartia Brigade's logistics unit loves their new body armor. You should have seen the video they sent us...these mad lads did supply runs and medevac on buggies with little to no protection!

$2 TACO Tuesday (Yes, we're back to TACOs)

Arcaist provided an awesome $2 pack this week! The t-shirt is size L-ish and joins two patches, the Ukrainian tryzub and an amazing patch from the Border Detachment Dommandant's Office of Rapid Response. Plus, there is a really cool embroidered wood keychain and a calendar from the 10th Edelweiss. Of course, UFL_Arcaist couldn't help but throw in a cloth bag hand-sewn by his mother.

$5 Ewok pack

The Ewoks are the drone unit for the 152nd Brigade, and they gave us their signed unit flag, patch, lapel pin, and L-ish t-shirt! As an added bonus, Arcaist found the old patch from the Ewoks' 152nd Brigade!

In closing:

I don't know if it's my advanced age, but it feels like life is coming at us awfully fast. It seems like I don't have time to catch my breath before the next debacle slaps me across my face and it starts all over again.

Because this constant barrage of "news" makes it easy to become distracted and overwhelmed, we appreciate your consistent support more than you know.

You have stood behind the defenders of Ukraine for over four long years now. That staunch support matters. Your belief has made a difference in real people's lives. I say it every week, and every week I mean it sincerely; thank you.
