The 127th received the quad you bought them!

If you remember, the 127th gave a vehicle to the 101st after a russian drone strike on their vehicle killed our friend. In return, we replaced the 127th vehicle with a quad to better maneuver in their forested area of responsibility, which is heavily wooded. UFL_Robin posted the video given to us by the 127th here.

Additionally, the 25th Brigade finally received our 3D printer!

$2 TACO Tuesday

TACO Tuesday is back in all its flip-flopping glory.

A beautiful 5 hryvnias commemorative coin heads this week's $2 pack. I just learned this, according to the National Bank of Ukraine: "The hryvnia is Ukraine’s official national currency. The name is derived from the word “hryvnia,” which in Kyiv Rus times meant a decoration worn at the nape of the neck."

It is joined by a sticker set and a unit patch from the 249th Battalion of the 127th Brigade. Arcaist's mom finishes the pack with a hand-crocheted keychain which would also fit nicely on a rear view mirror.

$5 127th Pack

In thanks for all of your help with obtaining that quad, the 127th signed their flag and gave up another unit patch. Not to be outdone, the 101st signed an ammo can! As the cherry on top, Arcaist's mom provided a crocheted keychain.

In closing:

The Diameter Of The Bomb

The diameter of the bomb was thirty centimeters
and the diameter of its effective range about seven meters,
with four dead and eleven wounded.
And around these, in a larger circle
of pain and time, two hospitals are scattered
and one graveyard. But the young woman
who was buried in the city she came from,
at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers,
enlarges the circle considerably,
and the solitary man mourning her death
at the distant shores of a country far across the sea
includes the entire world in the circle.
And I won’t even mention the crying of orphans
that reaches up to the throne of God and
beyond, making a circle with no end and no God.

Every bomb dropped by russia, every soldier killed, every family killed, echoes beyond Ukraine. We thank you for turning that tragedy, that evil into something based on love and respect. We can never repay you, nor can we undo what has happened, but we will forever be grateful.
