That is typical of many soldiers no longer on active duty. The love freedom. They understand democracy. The know how important it is to be involved with a country that provides opportunity. They understand how people suffer when a tyrant is seeking to end the world they lived in to remove freedoms and destroy happiness.
Once an American soldier, always an American hero. That is the case here and it always will be. It is not unusual for American soldiers to return for active duty over and over before finally saying good-bye to that heavy burden. They love freedom and democracy. You cannot pry it out of their hearts, souls or hands.
Deeply sorry to hear of the deaths of the soldiers that went to Ukraine from other countries around the world and were killed defending freedom and democracy. They are heroes without any doubt.

Lucyszyn was a 31-year-old father of two who first went to Ukraine to be a medic, his parents told NBC News. “He didn’t go there to be a hero. He went there because he wanted to help people,” his mother said.
Young was born in 1971 and was an “American military man” who went to fight in Ukraine because he “took an oath to protect the free world,” Miroshnichenko told Politico.
Canadian Emile-Antoine Roy-Sirois and Swede Edvard Selander Patrignani were also killed while fighting with the special ops unit of the Territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine....
