In the USA, a statue of the legendary athlete wears the jersey of a Ukrainian who died in the war.

The people of the United States continue to show solidarity with the Ukrainians in the war of liberation.

The statue of the legendary American football player Pat Tillman in the United States is wearing the uniform of the Ukrainian champion in this sport Daniil Boguslavsky, who died in the war against the Russian invaders.

This was said by the brother of the deceased athlete Roman Boguslavsky.

“At the entrance to State Farm Stadium is a statue of Pat Tillman commemorating the Arizona Cardinals player who turned down a $3.6 million contract after the 11/9/9 attacks, retired from professional sports at his peak degree and volunteered for the US Army.

In 2004, at the age of 27, Pat died in the mountains of Afghanistan. As a mark of respect, his jersey number 40 was permanently retired by both the Arizona team and the Cardinals.

Tillman’s sacrifice and dedication to the country has become a symbol of the #Salute_for_Service culture in the US.

Today, Pat Tillman’s statue is wearing the Lesorubovsky jersey of Daniil Boguslavsky, who also played with number 40.

The name Danyka against the background of the monument symbolizes the sincere gratitude of Ukrainians to the Heroes of our national liberation war for their sacrifice, loyalty to the ideals of freedom and democracy,” Roman Boguslavsky wrote.

Remember that Daniil Boguslavsky is a three-time champion of Ukraine in American football. He is a player of Uzhgorod club Lumberjacks – Uzhgorod lumberjacks. The athlete died on October 16 near the village of Novaya Kamenka, Kherson region.

Recall that earlier in the United States, during the Super Bowl 2023, they expressed support for the Ukrainian American football players who were protesting the Russian invasion.
