March 15, Journalists on the Ground in #Ukraine



On the eve of what will undoubtedly end with violence and bloodshed, my thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Ukraine, their fledgling interim government, loyal military and their loved ones.   

My prayers and thoughts also go out to minorities in not only Crimea, but the rest of the Ukraine, not knowing how this will play out, but knowing what may come. 

To first responders: may your arms not be weary, and may support from your fellow brothers and sisters around the world keep you strong. 

To the people willing to lay down their life to fight for Ukraine in their moment of need- God bless, Godspeed and come home safe. You know who you are.  You know the motto.

Finally to the journalists, thank you. Without you, the story of Ukraine would not be told. Appreciation for the endless trolling, criticism and disbelief you face hourly in your assignments.  For the pursuit of truth and the complete sharing of information while risking your lives in so doing, thank you. Stay safe, and God bless.

Slava Ukraini.
