GENERATORS
Our story: Three US veterans crossed paths in Ukraine: one Marine, one Army, one Air Force. Since the start of the war, two had been fighting in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and one had been providing logistical support. All three were from Texas, and all three attended The University of Texas. Since then, a former Army Ranger and a former Army Captain have joined, as well as supporters from Ukraine and other countries. Some of our members are still fighting
