War, International Law, and Russia's Inhumane
Crimes against the People of Ukraine by Glen Brown
Via email yesterday and today:
ReplyDeleteCongrats on those great metrics! So glad you are still at it.
I hope you and the family are doing well.
Jen
Happy Anniversary!
Gary
Congrats on this milestone! Really Cool!
Todd
I’ve always enjoyed your blogs. My wife is Ukrainian and has/had family in Ukraine. We pray for peace soon.
Best to you,
Frank
Great work, Glen! It’s much appreciated, believe me.
William
Thanks, Glen. I’m sure this list includes some of my favorites, too!
Cindy
Thank you, Glen, for taking the time to share your thoughts and interesting information. Your readers appreciate you.
Sue
Please continue with your informative blogs! I will continue to pray for the brave people of Ukraine. I didn’t know you had a special bond with them…
Karly
I always thought you were of English-Italian heritage. I had no idea besides your family name. Ha. It is a great honor to be of Ukrainian heritage, and not just for the Cossacks! […]
Prayers for peace, brother,
Kirill
I did not know of your Ukrainian background and cannot imagine what the Russian attack must mean to you. I trust the financial support I’ve been able to give to a couple of humanitarian organizations will truly find its way to the brave people of Ukraine who so desperately need assistance.
Peace,
Jim
So glad you are going to continue blogging. I cannot begin to adequately describe how much having you “There” means to me and to friends with whom I share your writing.
I usually anticipate celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, not so this year. My heart is so heavy. One friend asked me why I watch so much war cable coverage. As if not watching would make the war not exist!
Anyway, thank you for the gift you are, the gift your writing brings to the world. It is a candle in the darkness.
Gratefully,
Peggy
Congratulations, Glen. Wonderful accomplishment.
Jamie
Thanks, Glen! I have enjoyed your blog for all of these years. I still can’t believe it’s been 11 years already! Keep it up, and I hope to see you soon.
