Two U.S. military veterans were killed late last month while fighting in Ukraine, marking the latest of a growing number of Americans who have fought against Russian soldiers and died in the embattled country.
Lance Lawrence, a former U.S. Marine, and Andrew Webber, a former Army officer, both died on July 29 during an operation against Russian forces, according to media reports and public posts from those who knew them.Both Lawrence and Webber died in the service of Ukraine’s 59th Motorized Brigade. Lawrence was “providing cover fire under heavy enemy fire for fellow Chosen Company soldiers when he was wounded,” wrote one of his comrades and friends, Ryan O’Leary, on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Lance was enlisted into the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He was not a mercenary out for blood or excited for combat,” . “He came because he thought what was happening in Ukraine by Russia was wrong. Rest easy, brother.”
