@NM_PoloPlayer I took this one earlier this evening at 3000 feet. Now I know why. Tell your Dad keep the shiny side up! And let him know he and his generation saved the world, they're my heroes, and inspired me to fly and serve too. 🫡
@tipofthespear42 So important to remind people of their sacrifice for us. I had my son watch Hacksaw Ridge with me last night so he understands some of the horror and loss of war and the courage to face it. Today we attended our town's ceremony and laid 🌹 on graves of fallen service members.
Last little section of the farmers field we checked had some surprises. PFM-1 anti-personal mines are nasty, and if you step on one, its going to be a bad day. Thankfully we were able to locate and get these mines set for destruction. See https://t.co/wj1Q5n3PCU for your way to make a difference and support our mission. Without all of the generous supporters and people who believe in our mission and vision none of this would be possible. Thank you and please repost and share. #hope #purpose #veterans
An American, a Canadian, and a Ukrainian veteran are all working together for one common goal: doing our part to make the world a better place. We’re back on our farmer’s field and today, his tractor is too. This is amazing to see and this is what it’s all about. This is why we are here, to help others. I want to thank everyone who has supported our mission and continues to make this possible. Please see https://t.co/wj1Q5n3PCU for ways to help change the lives of so many in need. Stay tuned, continue spreading the word—big things are coming up.
@tipofthespear42 You, Logan and your partners are brave and good people! That couple must have been so relieved to see you, knowing that you'd get them to safety. 🫡 Stay safe!
Yesterday at approximately 13:00, two KAB-250 aerial bombs struck my medical point.
The first detonation occurred while I was on the porch organizing medical supplies. Inside, my nurse @once_upon_a_travel_nurse was caring for recovering servicemen, assisted by @ryeioww. Another female soldier was preparing food. Two servicemen under active care were present, including one with severe combat injuries resulting in blindness and loss of function in one leg.
Immediately after the first strike, my nurse and I established verbal contact and confirmed that all personnel were alive. Without hesitation, the team responded with discipline and composure. We began evacuating the wounded from the structure, moving them across the street while coordinating transport for further evacuation.
During this process, a second bomb struck.
The second impact, a FAB-250, is a 250-kilogram high-explosive aerial bomb carrying approximately 120 kilograms of explosive material, designed to destroy infrastructure and fortified positions with a blast radius of roughly 120 meters. It detonated directly at the rear of the medical point.
The explosion caused a structural collapse. The ceiling fell onto my nurse, who, despite the impact, continued providing care. I sustained shrapnel injury to the thigh. Vivi maintained focus and continued assisting with the evacuation, ensuring the wounded were loaded into a vehicle.
All vehicles at the site were destroyed. The medical point was completely demolished.
Despite the scale of the strike, all personnel survived. The strength and resilience of my amazing girls is unmatched, and without them, the outcome would have been much different
@bekamaciorowski A miracle you and your team and wounded survived 2 bombs. The courage and professionalism to continue care under fire and relocate is off the charts! May you have a rapid recovery. 💪
Let us know what you need. We'll take care of it.
@tipofthespear42 That's great news, Ryan! Very happy your supporters will be able to follow the team and see your hard work through the documentary! Safe travels, brother!

@tipofthespear42@EWTNNewsNightly Good interview, Ryan. A smart enemy always uses the simplest means to neutralize your strengths and tech, forcing you to play by rules that benefit them & shape public opinion too. Outthink, outlast. You've lived this. Thanks for sharing your experience. 🫡
I cant thank Citronelle wildcats in Alabama enough for putting our logo up on their baseball field and sharing our mission. Absolutely amazing!!
Next mission to Ukraine is coming up fast, like 2 weeks fast. See https://t.co/WXX11WzNgb to support and continue spreading the word.
Ryan is going on his Thirteenth trip to clear landmines in Ukraine. Farmers, kids playing, people returning to their evacuated homes all become victims to mines. Please support Ryan's non-profit and help save lives.
Been an amazing trip to New Mexico but its been busy. Between meetings promoting our work in Ukraine and the grind of preparing for mission 13 coming up in April, I needed to relax a bit, get out in nature and do what I love most, hike. From sea level Florida to 8,500 it kicked my ass but it was exactly what Dawn and I needed.
Our next mission is coming fast, less then 3 weeks away and support is needed. Please see https://t.co/wj1Q5n4nss for your way to make a difference and get ready, big things are coming up.
@AprilHuggett Keep writing, April. One of your gifts is that you care, and because of that you are able to see and feel so much more than somebody who is self absorbed. Your words are powerful and hopefully can help others to see past themselves, make them aware, and take action to help others
