MARK PASLAWSKY

Paz,

May God bless you and your family. Our friendship and shared laughter will not be forgotten. Your display of true character to stand up for what is right speaks volumes to Americans and Ukrainians alike.

Godspeed my friend.

Bill Hein

Memory eternal to a great man and hero.

Franko,
Your courage and sacrifice made you a paragon for all Ukrainians and Americans. Your virtue will live on, and your memory will not pass. Slava Heroyam!

I too honor the way Mark died, but wanted to add some memories of him living as well. I was a journalist based in Moscow, and he acted as my unofficial guide to Ukraine behind the scenes during regular visits to Kiev.

Sitting and kibitzing with Mark was always a great time. He was warm, funny, self-consciously mysterious, sardonic about the country's many flaws but obviously in love with it underneath. He was also entirely humble. I had no idea of his military background, and would...

Your brother in arms Greg has shared how important you are to him and our country. God bless your family and may you rest in peace.

We will remember you Mark!!!
Thank you!!!

Mark, May the eternal light and warmth of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you eternally. You are a True Patriot!!! Slava Tobi Marko!!! Slava Ukraini!!!Heroyam Slava!!!

To Mark,
A Ukrainian patriot, warrior, and freedom fighter who gave the ultimate sacrifice for his beloved ancestral motherland.

You certainly had the courage to take a bullet for all Ukrainians and for that I am eternally grateful. Your smile says it all. Peace to you as well!
