I so appreciate this, Professor. I stand with decent Americans, our principled veterans, disabled, retired, and those who served gallantly, as well as the brave and courageous Ukrainians, where my people come from now.

Thanks for this gift. What a powerful poem. I remember sleeping on the floor of the bathroom in my hotel room in Odesa in September 2024. First a small boom, then an hour of silence. Silence to hear the exhaustion and fear of my friend who lives there working in mental health every day while I go between the US and Ukraine every few months and get a rest from the penetrating silence.
