Approximately 60 people marched on behalf of Ukraine in its fight for freedom against Russia. We stood along the wall of the Carbon County Courthouse Annex, held up posters and signs, and waved Ukrainian flags. I have been in quite a few demonstrations in Jim Thorpe, but I have never seen so much support from passing drivers.
We ended in the park in downtown Jim Thorpe. Commissioner Rocky Ahner spoke, Linda said a few words, and Ulana of the Ukrainian Homestead, a local Carbon County fraternal organization, read a poem about liberty in both English and Ukrainian. The rally ended with the singing of the Ukrainian national anthem. It was both moving and sad.
