The long journey home for a Marine veteran killed in Ukraine
Agroup of dedicated American veterans working with Ukrainians spent months looking for the body of retired Marine Capt. Grady Kurpasi, who was killed in April while fighting against Russian forces.
The final recovery of Kurpasi’s body in the Kherson region required a drone, a dog team, and mine clearing experts to find a way through mines and unexploded ordnance.
After recovering Kurpasi’s remains in early April, the team then had to overcome weeks of bureaucracy to get Kurpasi’s remains out of Ukraine before finally bringing him home to his family on May 19.
The story of how Kurpasi was found and ultimately brought back to his loved ones shows how committed veterans are to bringing everyone home, no matter how long it takes.
