These Americans gave their lives fighting for Ukraine — and now their parents are sending a message directly to President Trump.
“Our loved ones … stood up for what is right. My son, and so many others, said, ‘It’s clear to see that this war is a war of good versus evil,‘” said Terri Hepworth, the mother of Dane Alan Partridge, who was killed in 2022.
“I still don’t think President Trump really understands clearly what our loved ones did. I’d like him, and Congress, to actually talk to us and hear our stories.”
Dozens of parents who spoke to The Post said they are encouraged by Trump’s growing support for Kyiv — and want him to hear why their sons gave their lives for a foreign country.
“If you read the Russians, they do not fight Ukraine; they fight America and Western civilization in general,” said Gennediy Baturin, whose son David was killed in action two years ago Tuesday. “This is the underlying reason why our sons went to war.”
