LINCOLN- Following a brutal, bitter, and grueling legislative session, Nebraska lawmakers are headed to their homes around the state. However, one lawmaker, Sen. Tom Brewer, a decorated military veteran, is headed straight for the battlefields of Ukraine, a trip that the senator has already made two times previously. Brewer, who is nearing his 65th birthday, figures he can help despite his age. "You go through life and you have skills, and things you've learned," he said, "And you want to use those skills until you physically can't anymore."

Brewer, just as the last few times he went to Ukraine, hopes that a visiting American and former soldier will help boost morale in the war-ravaged county. A veteran of the war in Afghanistan, Brewer also hopes to offer counsel both in the realms of strategy and the use of military equipment. "I was of less value to the last year when they were using Russian equipment," said Brewer, "Now, they're using systems I know. I know the Bradley fighting vehicle, I know the Abrams tank, I know the Stryker armored vehicle."

Brewer left Nebraska last Saturday, and arrived in Ukraine on Sunday. Just as before, Brewer is set to dole out Bibles to wounded soldiers, and was also given personal items by Ukrainian refugees in Texas to give to soldiers and loved ones who remain in the country. On top of that, Brewer also brings to the country speech-secure radios, which will help Ukrainian fighters communicate without betraying their positions to Russian forces.
