Thank you all again for a wonderful raffle last week! We hope you had a good, long weekend.

Updates

The 125th Brigade received their much-needed tourniquets from Robin's supply run. Each one of those TQs is potentially the life of a soldier!

These came in the second half of Robin's supply run, the ones that were driven in from Bergen, Norway by a very kind man named Hasse Hellan who runs humanitarian aid in every few months largely at his own expense. The Norwegian outlet FriFagbevegelse recently published a short piece about Hasse's work. The big camo suitcases in the first photo are all from you. If memory serves, one holds these very tourniquets.

If you translate to English rather than reading the original Norwegian, it's VERY important to note that Hasse is not going after children. Neither is he a "her", as one of the photo captions suggests.

The 37th loves their new power station. You can watch the video message here (we had to bleep out some name drops for opsec purposes).

Remember the 16 donated monitors that you delivered? The 82nd got theirs and sends their thanks!

And these just came in: the 427th Unmanned Systems Brigade received several boxes of meds and gear.

$2 TACO Tuesday

UFL_Arcaist brought back with him a beautiful Ukrainian bulava to share with you. We have the only good place to see putler's face with the famous chant "Putin – khuylo"; please be sure treat it with the respect the хуйло́ deserves. Additionally, you can win a sticker of the 80th Air Assault Brigade and a patch wonderfully embroidered with "Glory to Ukraine" in the shape of a tryzub.

$5 38th flag pack

The 38th Marine Brigade sent this signed flag as thanks for your support. It is joined by a "L" tryzub t-shirt; Arcaist swears that this t-shirt that he got from UA Made is amazingly high quality. With it, you can also win three patches; the starry patch is from the 108th TDF, the wolf's head is from the 48th Recon Battalion, and the last one is a bottle of still water"Prozora" (Прозора), the official water of the AFU. (Don't worry...both Robin and I had to ask Arcaist to explain it to us)

In closing:

I gave a book of English poetry by Edgar A. Guest to one of my best Ukrainian friends, who sends me poems that fit the day. My friend recently sent me the poem "My Life" and there is a section that fits perfectly my view of you, the supporters of Ukrainian defenders:

But I can say what I shall be,
What in my life the world shall see;
Can mold my thoughts and actions here
To what is fine of what is drear.
Though small my skill, I can elect
To keep or lose my self-respect.

No man can kindlier be than I,
No man can more detest a lie
...
I only choose what is to be
This life which symbolizes me.

None of us can change our leaders' horrible behavior, or those who blindly follow such people, but that doesn't mean that we have to sit idly by while one of the great injustices of our time grinds on. You have taken the admirable step of doing what is right, what is just, and UFL can't thank you enough.

Don't forget:

Givebutter may limit ticket purchases to 10 at a time, but as many of you know, you can always buy additional ticket packs without limit.

UFL has amazing art here if you haven't seen it yet!

And please note that although the event description mentions a livestream, there will be none. And while we do deeply appreciate those of you who choose to donate as well as buying raffle tickets, we want to make it clear that donations are not required to enter the raffle.

The weather may be cooling down, but your support isn't!
