Today is Ukraines 31st Independence Day. It’s one of the toughest days for me in recent months because it brings back in perspective the events that are going on in Ukraine. Today is 183rd day of war in Ukraine.
Let me tell you my experience so far
It sucks waking up every morning, picking up your phone and reading the news about places that have been bombed, people being killed
It sucks seeing pictures of places you loved to visit being destroyed and leveled to the ground
It sucks sending money to your childhood friends so they can buy military equipment to protect themselves because of state funded supply shortage
It sucks hearing your daughter saying “we can’t visit grandma because there is a war going on there” even though you never told her about war
It sucks watching your wife waiting for a message from her parents late at night so she knows they are safe and she can finally go to sleep
It sucks explaining to your mom she is not a traitor for fleeing a country in the first days of war and trying to keep her from going back there
It sucks not being able to go help your family when your grandpa is sick with cancer because it is in the middle of the warzone
It sucks…
And after you complained about all this, you still realize, that you have it a 100 times better than anyone who is still in Ukraine
So all I want is for us, as leaders of our families and our communities, is to raise our children more peaceful. Lets teach them how to prevent conflicts, how to help each other, how to share…
And maybe, just maybe, in some far dystopian future all humans will be united and stop killing each other for the ideas they did not even have 6 months ago

Messed up in planning by not having enough time to prep the course. It was too dark and I was not aware of a couple fences on the route. Heard about at AAR.
Loved that everyone was pushing and we got some good miles
I liked the format but need to do a better job explaining things. That wounded man carry was a mess
Tried my hardest to not cry at the COT but things I said really weight heavy on me. I really appreciate all the support and this is the main reason I do F3
Thanks everybody and till the next time
