Our second Ambassador is ready to go! We will start fundraising for Lane’s travel costs in early 2027.

Lane is a USMC Veteran who served with Corey Nawrocki, a well known American Veteran who was killed in 2024 while serving in Ukraine. On his application, Lane said, “The war has also become personally meaningful to me after losing a former First Sergeant there recently. That loss reinforced my respect for the people involved and deepened my desire to witness and understand the situation firsthand.”

Lane is a bartender and cider maker at my favorite cider bar in Arizona, Cider Corps, where we recently hosted a friendly meet up event for a group of visiting Ukrainian Veterans. Now it’s time for some of the Cider Corps team to visit Ukraine.
