L’ex soldato australiano Sam Pedrazzini viene sepolto dopo essere stato ucciso combattendo per l’Ucraina, i suoi genitori si precipitarono pericolosamente nella zona di guerra per seppellire il figlio. Addestrò i soldati ucraini per difendere la loro patria, poi si innamorò lui stesso del paese e scelse di essere sepolto lì

I personally don’t believe in any god we’ve made up and hope there’s something that has not caused wars and harmed people, that is infinitely perfect and you get it to be everything you could ever want it to be, and I wish that for him. And that everyone he touched always have his memory as a comfort.

The Ode of Remembrance is a poem that is commonly recited at Anzac Day services to commemorate wartime sacrifice.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Geez, he went from enlisting in the ADF to instructing fairly quickly. That’s a very impressive achievement. He’s gone away to train people and has obviously helped save many lives by doing that alone, and then he’s been with Ukrainians and heard their stories, and made the total decision to join a Ukrainian combat unit on arguably the toughest most unforgiving battlefields in human history.

The moral and physical courage to make that decision cannot be understated. He was fair dinkum.

Lest We Forget.

Very sad. Impressive that he made it to SSO.
