Show you care, don’t be a square.

4 years ago, the day after russia tried to take over all of Ukraine, my art college buddy from Lviv signed up to defend his country. Ever since, “Floyd“ a multi-talented artist/musician has been a serviceman, now with the 219th battalion of the 125th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade, part of the famous 3rd Army Corps.

Recently joined by his wife and eldest son, Floyd’s brigade needs help purchasing off-road vehicles, jeeps and trucks in order to safely and efficiently carry out their duties. On this anniversary, please show your thanks to the brave families and individuals fighting for liberty and democracy in Ukraine. 💙💛
