\"\"KYIV, Ukraine (FOX\/Staff) – Paul Grey was born in Tyler and is a graduate of the University of Texas. He’s a U.S Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient now on the frontline in the war in Ukraine. He served two duties in Iraq with the 101st airborne division, which prepared him for his current situation. According to our news partner KETK, Grey was living in Ukraine where he owns and operates a gymnasium when the invasion began. He recently had to shut it down about a month ago due to the crisis. With his business closed he had the choice to leave or stay, but he decided to stay. <\/p>\n

Paul and his friends, who have military experience, have been an influence on the Ukrainian community and have been helping others. Paul was prepared by stocking up on food, taking money out of the banks and getting ready for the worst. He’s grateful for the military aid the US has supplied including his weapon of choice, the anti-tank javelin. A Russian artillery blast left an American friend severely hurt and Grey recovering from leg injuries. One thing strange for Grey is he’s fighting a hot war against the Russians, others like his father only thought about during decades of cold war. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
