Retired U.S. Special Forces officer and wife serve in Ukraine

During a Dec. 8 video call, retired military veteran John Culp spoke from Ukraine, lit by candlelight and a nearby snowy window. The power and internet was down in his building, so he used his phone’s hotspot to call on his laptop.

Halfway through the 45-minute interview, the laptop’s battery died and Culp had to switch to his phone, which then lost wireless connection three separate times.
