“Tomorrow I will exchange the place with him, so that he can sit at home, get off one product, and look at the dart.
“I am 52 years old and I live my life. He is 18 years old. Who knows what he can do? He has no life. This is the worst part of them.”

Graham said, “I sat down with him, why he wanted to do this, and I had a variety of conversations about this idea. Finally, he thought it was what he wanted to do.”
“I think he thinks this is a bit adventurous. He is going there to help and want to make a difference.”
Graham said he barely supported James and added: “If I didn’t do it, I would wake up in the morning and he would go.
“It seems a great thing afterwards. Can I change his idea? No.”

Graham got off at Manchester Airport on April 28. From there, he flew to Clarkov by plane, and then boarded a bus to Tinopier, where he participated in the basic training plan for about four weeks with the International Legion.
Graham said that before the third anniversary of the war began later this month, his son and his comrades praised from all over the world and had various military experience. Used as “cannon fodder”.
Nevertheless, he still didn’t know that James regretted his decision in a regular telephone conversation. Graham said that it was due to his son’s desire to insist on a certain “normal” desire.
“He met some very good people. If he could spare time, he would have many friends of life.”
“I will come to you ”
James (James) was deployed to the east of the country because he and comrades tried to prevent Russia from spreading north from the occupied Donetz area.
Graham said his son was the first mission in July, and he was killed in two battle ES that was killed in the field without cover.
They just said the night before.
“He seems okay. He did say at some point,” I don’t think I will be here, as long as I may be here. This is different from my thoughts. “
“I said: ‘This depends on you. If there is any problem or pear -shaped, I will come to you.’. If he decides not to be there, it is always a choice.”
According to the International Legion website, volunteers who have obtained services can terminate their contracts six months later.
“The task he continues to perform, he doesn’t have to go. But, because he had the best partner at that time, he decided ‘Okay, I have to go’.
“Considering that I might be exactly the same.”

In December last year, Volodymr Zlensky, Ukrainian President, acknowledged that his country suffered 43,000 deaths and injured 370,000 soldiers.
The number of deaths of the Russian army is estimated to be about 200,000. None of these numbers are independent verification.
Graham (Graham) participated in a 1,800 -mile Ukrainian trip and participated in his son’s funeral.
While reflecting on his death, he said that James died “to do his strong thing to himself.”
“This is very, very sad and unfortunate because he is not as different as he wants.
“Unfortunately, what happened to James may happen in the middle of the fields in the eastern field of Ukraine.
“It’s time to go home now, and I actually realize the situation there.”
Going home at Graham, James shared in Lindley, and life is “quiet”.
“When he grows up, he becomes a good young man, and he will continue to move forward with anyone.
“I’m going home tonight, he didn’t sit there to play playstation, which was strange.
“We are great. We will sit there, there are something to eat and talk about all kinds of things. As far as I know, he will not tell me, this is why he is open with me. What when I do “”
The night before James left, he and his father “joked with a smile” and drink beer overnight before the TV.
Graham’s sadness is still primitive.
“This is really dry. You try not to consider it, you can, and then some things will appear, it will let you move forward again.
“He may be my young version. Perhaps if I was young, I might do the same thing.”
