Great find on those stamps, Vikki! What do they say at the bottom?
And as always Bill, your outlook on life is *almost* as inspiring as all those kids. Thank YOU for the sacrifices you've had to make to keep this going!
Country of volunteers 
Honest to goodness, I wouldn't have a clue about how advertised those are inside of Ukraine, or how many people are paying attention to the commemorative stamps being offered. But I can say that I've never received so much attention as a "volunteer" before, and 100% attribute it to those being produced at the time of our run
People noticed, and they were so darn appreciative 
In reply to bbbbRASS :
Thanks, man!
Hey, any chance you got a build thread for that BMW of yours? I used to have a 330CI back in Kuwait and LOVED it.

Much appreciated, sir. I'm just glad we (as GRM) are in a position where we could "act" the way we can. There was a thread going on that transmission as the scenario was being played out. DarkMonohue has already scrounged up the spare parts to make the uninstalled transmission whole again. And of course, going into Donetsk would have been a non-starter without VikkiDp there to help navigate and translate.
Together, I think we're going to get these kids through this
Everyone, I have the full video for the run report out. Give it a gander when you got a second:
I've got Yaroslav's fundraiser open as well. Here's the link to the donation page:
https://donorbox.org/get-yaroslav-his-4x4
Unfortunately Mr. Murphy continues to be a mother-berker, and is working against us again. Shortly after Katie closed her fundraiser, PayPal decided to remove that option from their platform. As GoFundMe doesn't allow military fundraising, we were forced to find another host. We're hoping this works out. Payments will go directly to my Yahoo paypal account, which had to be upgraded to a "business account" for this feature (I'll sort the implications of that out later).
On our webpage (www.DniproExpress.com), all of Yaroslav's donation links should take you to that same donation page. Feel free to share with all your friends/families/neighbors/etc.
There's no deadline for this fundraiser. We set the goal at $6500, but consider that to be arbitrary. We're going to base this purchase off of our purchasing power with regards to funds collected. When things look like they're going stagnant, then we move. We'll start at "beat up Mitsubishi L200" and keep on going until we hit "brand new Toyota Hilux".
The requirements are simple: Reliable, diesel, 4-wheel-drive, pickup.
From there, I'm hoping we can have some fun "preparing" it for delivery (maybe some stickers and a quick "going over") but don't want to fall into the trap of turning the vehicle we buy into a "build".
This is the drone that needs to fit in the back:
