Combat death puts spotlight on Americans fighting in Ukraine

It was his choice. We did not send him there. I do feel for his family and friends.

The loss of any American anywhere is a terrible thing. But most retired and former military people are willing to risk everything in the freedom no matter the cost. I am not sure leaving a 7-month-old child and your wife was something I would do. My heart goes out to his loss and his family, and I hope some group or organization remembers he was an American Veteran first and does something to help his wife and child.

Thanks for the share. Fighting for freedom is a choice. Those who have served in the volunteer military and those also from the draft military understand that freedom is never free. God bless those that seek harms way in Ukraine and prayers for them to all for a safe return. MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D.
