I fell in love with Ukraine the way John Green once wrote about love: slowly, and then — all at once.
I deeply love the country where I was born.
I still cry when I hear the American national anthem…
And then, in the 2022 year, I arrived in Ukraine.
And here everything I had believed in my whole life — independence, self-sacrifice, a person’s desire to be free — suddenly became reality...
…I stood in bombed-out churches and begged God…
… I stood among bags with bodies and prayed that we would be able to return the names of those who gave the most…
…Freedom is a gift from our Creator.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are not just pretty words written once on an old document. They speak to what is placed in every human soul: the right to live, to be free, to determine the future of one’s family and one’s country, and to refuse to kneel before those who want to take it all away.
Ukraine fights for these rights every day.
Not as abstractions. Not as slogans.
With lives...
… We must help Ukraine win the freedom for which so many of her sons and daughters have already given everything.
Happy Independence Day, Ukraine.
To the country that refuses to kneel.
Glory to Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇺🇸
