Washington Vet Returns From Harrowing Ukraine Front-Line Duty
In March, Iraq War veteran Carl Larson took a leave from his digital marketing job in the Puget Sound region to join in the Ukrainian struggle against the Russian invasion of their country.
A little known fact about the Ukraine war, is that there are many American veterans fighting there. They are Iraq veterans, and they are fighting to help a country that is fighting for its life.
I am honored to know them in that they love freedom so much that they would do this.
Never forget our veterans who take that extra step to reach out to protect people. They are my heroes.

Biden Speeds up Military Aid to Ukraine, Drawing U.S. Deeper Into War
From the start of the war, the administration sought to parse its response, deciding which weapons could be called defensive and therefore were acceptable to send to Ukraine and which ones could be called offensive and therefore should not be delivered. But the line has shifted in recent weeks.

Baby Formula Supply Is ‘Adequate’ at U.S. Military Commissaries, Pentagon Says
“We’re not immune to the same supply chain problems that other families across America are experiencing,” John Kirby told reporters at the Pentagon.
Here is the third in a series of three interviews with WWII Veterans. Bob Coury was a Captain in the Army. His story follows.
What was your job as a Captain?
I had a full company of men who unloaded ships in Okinawa.
How did that go?
We did a great job of keeping equipment, and supplies to the soldiers fighting Okinawa.
Did you have any times you almost died?
I was up on one of the ships and somehow I feel off into the ocean. I was in between the ship and a barge that was moving in the waves. If I didn’t get out of there fast the barge could crush me. I swam fast to the end of the barge and was able to make it to shore. (Near death experience)
I asked him how hard it was to unload the ships in enemy territory?
It was very hard because the Kamikaze planes were trying to hit the ship we were Unloading.
I have a side story about Bob Coury. I was shopping for groceries one day and I saw a man with a WWII hat on. I went up to him and said, “Thank you for your service. ” We both went on our way and I thought why onearth didn’t I ask him if he would allow me to interview him.
I Figured I had made a huge mistake. However when I got in line to ay for my groceries there he was in line. I didn’t hesitate, and asked him if I could interview him. He said sure and handed me one of his cards.
I looked at the card and it blew me away. This guy owned all the Bob’s Hamburgers restaurants in the area! I knew him from way back in highschool.
His push was that he had 19 cent hamburgers. He happend to build his first restaurant in the street I walked home from high school. He was there working everyday.
My mom gave me 25 cents to get a burger every day on my way home. Bob even stopped to talk to me from time to time. I got a cup of water and chomped away.
I never thought for a New York minute that this guy would be back in my life.
We have become good friends. He just past the age of 100 this year and he is still going.
