Everything sparkled for us like a bright dream... My father got the call sign Sagaidachny because he had authority among the military. He was a father to the unit, maintained order. During combat missions when there was no food, he found it - what nature gave and was at hand, and fed the guys with soup. He built a forge on the front line, where he even made various things from scraps of equipment and rockets: knives, flashlights, medals, etc. He gave them to his friends and comrades. Iron in his hands was like plasticine. Unfortunately, words are hard to heal the sore wound of loss in the heart. Because the death of a loved one is a great test... No one will replace my father for me. I am without him, like without air. I love you more than life! I will never be able to forget! How sensitive, kind, always holding me by the hand, wherever we were and how old I was. You called me your princess...", - wrote the deceased's daughter. The warrior was buried in his native village.
