We are working shipping more emergency vehicles (126 & 127). We want to pause and express our gratitude to all of our supporters, donors and partners from around the world that have helped us answer God's call to help the people of Ukraine. Thank you. #UkraineWillWin #grateful

The fire engine behind him, 705 was delivered to Kharkiv back in May of 2023. It was donated by @Bedfordparkfd and delivered by our volunteers. We personally trained with the firefighters in Kharkiv on this engine. We grieve the loss of this firefighter and pray for his family.

Our effort started because a 7 year old girl named Lily decided she wanted to help the people of Ukraine. Now 4 years later we have sent 122 emergency vehicles to Ukraine. Lily likes to sign the ambulances, often she will add a message, a heart and a sunflower.

Trump won we don’t have to do this anymore

After our ambulances are delivered they are put to work. Here are before and after pics of an ambulance from Baltimore now serving with a volunteer fire department in Boryspil. We are grateful to our donors and our partners at @avfukraine. Thank you for making this possible.

EVEN EVEN MORE HILLARY

In the summer of 1997, Bill Clinton visited Denmark. We landed on AF-1 in Copenhagen, boarded Marine One for a night time tour of the coast en route to Kronborg Castle, for Shakespeare the “home of Hamlet.” We landed at around midnight and were welcomed with open arms by the queen and her staff.

Beautiful, historic castle. I was put up in the Scottish Military suite. Beautiful room with a fully appointed spread of meats, cheeses, breads, fruit, and a full bar. All served, of course, with fine china and crystal.

After a phone call with my wife, I made sure POTUS was down for the evening and went to bed.

The next morning, the queen had a breakfast spread for Clinton and the staff. Again, first class.

As we headed to the motorcade to leave for an event and the flight home, I was pulled aside by the Danish military aide.

“Buzz, we have a problem. Your staff stole the china and crystal from their rooms. And took other things as well.”

I was stunned and chagrined. I apologized profusely and told him I’d handle it.

I talked with Hillary and the White House chief of staff and told them what had happened.

They both shrugged their shoulders. No apology. Nobody held accountable. No repayment.

Just another day in the Clinton White House and a group of Ugly Americans.

I don’t want to hear a damn word from @HillaryClinton about White House decorum. Not a word.

Imagine being so miserable that you see this and get mad.

If you like what we are doing in Ukraine please consider donating. We have 4 ambulances sailing for Odesa right now. We have raised about half of the money needed to cover our costs. Every dollar helps, thank you and thanks for sharing with friends.

Today we successfully transferred an ambulance donated by Lifestar Response to @SESU_UA in Odesa. The ambulance left Baltimore this past March and made its way to Ukraine in May. With the help of @avfukraine, the ambulance was serviced and will now serve with the Odesa DSNS.

[US Ambulances for Ukraine NFP @AmbulancesU]

@SterlingILGov thanks for the older SCBAs and hose. We delivered it to Fire station 2 in Odesa which is home to your donated fire engine along with the fire engine from Chillicothe, IL. Thank you.

I have twin boys. The image of this kid holding his dying brother in his arms fills me with grief and rage. If you feel no sympathy for Austin’s family then you are not human. You have no soul. In saner times we would exile you from society. You don’t deserve to live among us.

After driving on Ukrainian roads our Ford F450 started leaking fuel. Thankfully it was a diesel so we continued until we stopped near a village between Uman and Odesa. There a mechanic helped us out and got our convoy rolling again. It would be our last delay of the trip.

[US Ambulances for Ukraine NFP @AmbulancesU]

Before we continued toward #odesa we handed off our first ambulance to Ukrainian volunteers. After servicing the vehicle they will deliver the yellow @Ford Box style ambulance to medics working near Zaporizhzhia. #ukraineiswinning #standwithukraine

After replacing the fan belt with the help of a great shop in Latvia we made it to Lithuania where we ran into a local ambulance crew. They loved seeing our American ambulances that would soon be in Ukraine. After talking a bit we prepared for the next day's drive through Poland

[Heather @MagistraHeather]

@AmbulancesU Love to see it 🇺🇸🇺🇦

[US Ambulances for Ukraine NFP @AmbulancesU]

After a couple hard days of driving we made it to Poland and made our final preparations for the drive into Ukraine and ultimately to Odesa. We replaced a couple batteries to be safe and added some American Flags out of pride. With that done and paperwork in hand, we headed out.

[US Ambulances for Ukraine NFP @AmbulancesU]

Even with all the correct paperwork it still takes several hours to get across the border. Once through we stopped in Lviv for the night where we met our first ambulance recipient and the @avfukraine which would accompany us to Odesa. After a year it was good to be back in UA.

[Athenaeum Book Club @athenaeumbc]

One of the easiest ways to stand out in 2026 is to read.

The gap between readers and non-readers will be the most important divide of the next decade.

While everyone worries about AI, 54% of adults can't read beyond a 6th-grade level.

That's why we started an online book club to study the greatest texts of Western Civilization. Every month, we study a new great work — so far we've covered Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, The Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote, etc.

Currently, we're reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.

Western Civilization has given us the greatest books ever written, but it takes effort to read them, and even more to read them well. That’s what we’re doing here, slowly, together.

If you want to support our efforts, please consider a paid subscription. It makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project. Paid members get:

- Live book club discussions (biweekly)

- Access to our incredible community chat

- Essays to guide you through the Great Books

- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts

- Ability to vote on what we read next...

Welcome!

[US Ambulances for Ukraine NFP @AmbulancesU]

These 4 ambulances are the end of a 3 month effort to send 12 ambulances from the USA. We've now delivered 118 emergency vehicles to Ukrainian first responders.

After leaving Estonia we headed for Lithuania. Sometimes things break, when it happens we fix them and drive on.

[Heather @MagistraHeather]

@AmbulancesU So proud of you all!
