Voices from the Course

Ukrainian veterans and participants share their experience from last year's tournament

Michael, Ukrainian Military

First Assault Batallion

“My experience at the golf tournament was amazing. I’m very grateful — it helped so much with my rehabilitation. I felt calm, surrounded by nature and great people. It brought peace to my mind after everything.”

Richard, Ukrainian Military

Azov Brigade

“I really want to thank the American people — for your support, for caring about us. When I arrived, everyone said, ‘Thank you for your service.’ That meant a lot. God bless the United States of America.”

Ukranian Military

First Assault Batallion

“I was very impressed by golf. I was impressed by the setting, the fields, and the people who greeted me every day with smiles, asking how I was. Even though we didn’t know each other, they still helped.”

"These veterans aren't just attendees – they're the beating heart of this summit. Their presence transforms a conference into a movement, their stories turn statistics into reality, and their courage inspires action that changes the course of history."
