Danger, tragedy, death are all happening in Ukraine. But there's purpose-driven heroism as well.
Vlad Finn lived on the streets for two years as a small boy. A Ukrainian orphanage later became his home, then an American couple adopted him and his brother. At the age of fifteen, Vlad had new parents, family and country. Today his heart is touched for orphans who are still there.
Tyler Merritt is a U.S. veteran with tactical warrior experience, a special skill set. Together with a few other veterans in the Aerial Recovery Group, he's on the ground with refugees at the Ukraine-Poland border.
ARG's mission: to save lives, eliminate confusion, maximize support and accelerate recovery.
Last week they took a window of 72 hours to walk across the border and rescue orphans. The veterans have the skills to get the job done, and Finn is there as a volunteer. Merritt says that they were moving a 30-passenger van of kids when Russians stopped them, pulled out two caregivers, and executed them.
