It is a huge relief that they made it home, at least one thing to be grateful for today

I still remember his reports from the Ukrainian border at the start of the war there - I always thought he should have received an award for that. And he has since gone back to catch up with people he met on that initial trip.

Since he's "new" I've seen Gym Jordan "misunderestimating" him which is a big mistake!
