A Wrestling teammate, classmate, friend, father, warrior, and great f*@cking human. The world lost an amazing man. Whatever good you planned on doing with your life, do 1% more for Andrew. The fight in Ukraine is good vs evil. It is democracy vs dictatorship. The only thing it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. A man who has nothing which he is willing fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other." - John Stuart Mill
