Many of my wifes family are currently fighting for their freedom in Ukraine.. Her nephew just got done of 1 1/2 tours of front-line duty... Men in their late 30s. Most with just hand weapons go against tanks on the Eastern front,,,,and win!
Last month he asked to come with his wife to stay with us for some R&R before going back and we immediately said yes.. A little paperwork and favors called in and he is here all legal like!
He had done some translating for me some years ago when I would go to Ukraine and 'pick'... When he got here he was very disappointed to learn that most of my collection had gotten lost in the 2 bad floods we experienced. BUT very glad my rings made it and he remembered many of them... He brought me his unit insignia and a signed flag from the eastern front. While talking I noticed his ring!....
Most of their group came from the same area of Ukraine. The officer in charged has a program that IF you want a unit ring he would pay half and when they got home pay the other half and the ring would be there.... So of course he ordered one...
- *** I am proud to show you a true war heroes unit ring.. No hallmark but he was told it was made from their local artisan/jewelry in 'coin silver'...........
