Mark J. Lindquist is a United States Air Force veteran who dropped everything and bought a plane ticket to Poland three weeks after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.He figured that since it was clear that the United States of America was not going to send our soldiers to Ukraine, maybe someone with US Military training could help.
