Imagine the emotions of a soldier undergoing treatment or rehabilitation when an American delegation enters his ward. This delegation consists of their colleagues, also veterans. They know what it means to fight. They know what an injury is. They lived through the path of treatment and rehabilitation.
The other day, the Foundation team had the pleasure of supporting our wounded defenders in one of the capital’s medical facilities together with the American military.
Cory Bythrow, veteran and co-founder of the US-Ukraine Veterans Bridge Will Attig, and veteran Dennis DJ Skelton visited the wounded Ukrainian soldiers.
Our defenders signed the Ukrainian flag for the US veterans and presented them with their chevrons.
Olena Prikhno, an employee of the Ukrainian Veterans Foundation, told about the programs of the Ukrainian Veterans Foundation, the recently launched US-Ukraine Veterans Bridge organization, and other opportunities that our institution provides for defenders.
Finally, Will Attig invited our defenders after treatment and rehabilitation to visit the United States of America.
We are sure that such conversations and meetings are not only about partnerships but also about supporting the spirit and bringing us closer to victory.
