The family of Andrew Peters, a 28-year-old American veteran, received the news that he had gone missing in action while serving on the front lines with the International Legion of the Defense of Ukraine. And then they were notified of his death.
Due to security concerns officials did not disclose the specific location where he died.
Last year the US Army veteran volunteered and joined the fight against the Kremlin’s invasion. He arrived in Ukraine a couple of days after Thanksgiving. And brought his own armor and military gear.
He stayed in constant touch with his family. And they feared the worse when he stopped texting around Feb. 11.
The news was later confirmed by US officials that he had died during combat on February 16. Peters had also served as an infantryman in Afghanistan in 2014. And he was known for his patriotism. And passion for serving his country.
The American veteran fought for “honor”
Andrew described all that he witnessed in Ukraine to his father. “I remember him telling me, ‘Dad, you cannot believe the horror and the suffering of the Ukrainian people that is going on over here,’” his father recalled.
