Had a Ukraine patch on my work belt and a customer piped up, “Slava Ukraine!” Caught me off guard, forgot I was wearing that! (It’s on my phone holder, rear hip.)

She pronounced it: slah-vah you-crane. Reading it online, I thought it was: slah-vah you-crawn-i

Anyway, the look on her face was worth a million bucks, SO happy! Had a middle-aged guy and his son (grandson?) chat me up at Dollar General while wearing another patch. Both have the royal trident. Not disrespectful? Country boy trying to show support, not pretend who I’m not.

And I just learned: Heroiam slava! Little help with that as well?
