From one soldier to another, my upmost respect.

This is Lt. prokhorenko. Recently he died fighting IS on the ground inside Syria. Completely surrounded by fighters and the sole surviving man of his team he called an airstrike directly on top of him to go out killing as many IS members as he possibly could as surrendering wasn't an option.
I am not a Russian. I am a member of the American Military. Yet I know valor, courage, and professionalism wear many uniforms. This man could have been our enemy yesterday or tomorrow but right now as soldiers we must respect the valor shown as a soldier himself on the battlefield. Tonight we will raise a drink in his honor.

LT. Prokhorenko was inside Syria identifying IS strong holds and calling air on IS persons and equipment.
Below is the final communication traffic between the LT and his command.
