(With apologies for the potato quality photos. Givebutter's a great platform, but it absolutely butchers pictures sometimes.)

We all know that the upcoming "peace summit" won't prevent russia from continuing their relentless assault on Ukraine, trying to take every scrap of land they can. So until russia finally falls, we have to keep supporting Ukraine's defenders.

UFL President Robin will be traveling to Europe at the end of March, taking with her as much as she possibly can...let's make her trip miserable by loading her up with a ridiculous amount of gear! Ideally, I would love to see her struggle to transport twice her weight in tacmed!

So, in order to make her trip as unpleasant as possible, we decided to run an extra-super-special raffle; keep reading, because there's lots...

The Preliminaries

Do you guys remember the 1st Tank Brigade asking for gas masks? Well, they are in use and very much appreciated! In celebration of a job well done, we are offering you a chance to win the "thank you" patch from the 1st:

Each ticket for the patch will be the normal $2 Tuesday raffle.

The Main Event

Inspired by the annual Invictus Games, this awesome brass cast is dedicated to the countless men and women of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who suffered from terrible injuries which they will bear for the rest of their lives. This year, Ukraine won 30 medals in the Invictus Games.

One of the most moving sculptures I have seen, UFL's own Arcaist made this amazing piece using bullet casings fired by Ukrainian defenders, melted down and cast.

Yet their spirit remains unbroken, and many returned to active service, even after losing limbs.

The base has two poems engraved on plates. The first poem, in both English and Ukrainian, reads:

Your weapons burned us.
Pierced us.
Mangled us.
Even tore us apart.
We will be carrying the scars of our fight for the rest of our lives.
Our bodies are shattered,
yet we remain unbroken!

And the second poem is a version of the poem "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley in English, as interpreted by a good friend of UFL:

Beyond the night that covered me,
Rest my people's precious fate
T'is my response as I have vowed
It finds, shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not if Mordor's gate,
Tried to take me heart and whole.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

In recognition of the significance of this piece of art, tickets will be $5 each.

Bonuses

We're not done yet!

Everyone that donates over $100 (including ticket purchases) will receive a "Peace for Ukraine" t-shirt. Please note that many EU countries impose a tariff on mailed goods, payable by the recipient. We don't have a way to pay that tariff, so be warned.

But wait! That's not all!

The top 10 donors will all receive their own UFL patch; the same ones we give to the Ukrainian defenders that you support.

The top 5 donors will also receive a 3D-printed drone-dropped "candle". These are the same as used by Ukrainian forces to deliver their messages to russian troops to return home, only these candles have mini-led lights inside instead of a strongly-worded statement about unjustly invading their neighbors.

And last, but certainly not least, the top donor (randomly selected in the event of a tie) also will receive a pillow, hand-made by the mother of UFL Arcaist!

In summary, I want this to be something very special. The war is not slacking - it is, in fact, worsening. The Ukrainian defenders need help more than ever, especially in light of current political "choices". I wish I could really say what I want to say, but I'm trying to be professional 🤬.

Thank you. Seriously, thank you for all you do.
