Also a quote from the UAV National Commander Ihor W. Hron...
“I say there is something in the soul of all Ukrainian Americans that yearns for freedom and is willing to die for it. It is this heritage that has been passed down from generation to generation of Ukrainian Americans.”

Also here is a look at the Ukrainian American Veterans Monument, St. Andrew Memorial Church and Cemetery in South Bound Brook, N.J.
Designed by renowned Ukrainian Canadian artist John Jaciw, the monument honors all American veterans of Ukrainian heritage who have honorably served in the U.S. Armed Forces, including those currently serving in the ongoing global war on terrorism.
The UAV National Monument dedication took place at 4 p.m. on October 3, under cloudy skies and with raindrops blessing the event. Brig. Gen. Kondratiuk welcomed all the guests and veterans who had arrived to witness this moving ceremony.
He eloquently presented a brief history of Ukrainians who had fought and died for the United States during the past two centuries. Brig. Gen. Kondratiuk underscored that early arrivals (prior to 1991) to the United States were identified as Russians and not Ukrainians, and that the UAV is striving to correct this misidentification through the UAV National Registry.
The first speaker at the banquet was National Commander Hron, who presented a brief history of the UAV. He spoke of Ukrainians and Ukrainian Americans who became American heroes: World War II Medal of Honor recipients Nicholas Minue, John Dudko and Nicholas Oresko; Michael Strank, who participated in the famous flag-raising at Iwo Jima; Maj. Myron Diduryk of “We Were Soldiers Once and Young” fame, who was killed in action in Vietnam; and several others.
The highest-ranking Ukrainian American officer cited by the national commander was Gen. Samuel Jaskilka of the U.S. Marine Corps. Also cited was U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Nicholas Krawciw, who was wounded in Vietnam and later played a major role in reforming Ukraine’s armed forces.
