Nebraska state senator spends Fourth of July in Ukraine
Brewer has served six tours of duty and is a highly decorated retired Nebraska Army National Guard Colonel. Now, he'll be on one of several four-member civilian teams helping non-government organizations take medical gear and other supplies to Ukrainian troops on the front lines.
"They're hurting for medical supplies, especially in the saturated areas where the fighting is happening," Brewer said.
Brewer, a veteran who earned two Purple Hearts, said the destruction he has seen in Ukraine is unlike anything he saw during his six deployments in Afghanistan, where he was seriously wounded. Brewer said he wanted to make the trip not only because he is a veteran, but also to witness history. He also said he thought U.S. troops would eventually be fighting the Russians themselves at some point.
Brewer, 62, said last June he was in a new battle with leukemia which would require chemotherapy. Brewer was treated for hairy cell leukemia previously in 2014.
