I am hardly fluent in English (my native tongue) and barely conversational in French (four years of it in high school), and the Rosetta Stone’s promise of easily learning a new language notwithstanding, I am far too old a dog to learn that particular new trick.
My longwinded way of saying I speak no Ukrainian and therefore do not know the Ukrainian word for hero. However I have followed the events of the past week closely enough to appreciate just how perfectly Raymond Chandler nailed it.
The people of Ukraine have demonstrated this week not only are they the best of us in this world but that any world, anywhere, would be honored to have them.
