There is no greater love than that of a man who would sacrifice his life that others may live. A fellow medic Pete Reed was killed in Ukraine 2 days ago while evacuating civilians and saving lives. I met him in 2017 during the battle to liberate Mosul from ISIS. May his light shine bright forever and may his legacy live on.
On February 2, 2023, GRM founder Pete Reed was killed in Bakhmut, Ukraine. Pete was the bedrock of GRM, serving as Board President for 4 years. In January, Pete stepped away from GRM to work with Global Outreach Doctors on their Ukraine mission and was killed while rendering aid.
This is a stark reminder of the perils rescue and aid workers face in conflict zones as they serve citizens caught in the crossfire. Pete was just 33 years old, but lived a life in service of others, first as a decorated US Marine and then in humanitarian aid. GRM will strive to honor his legacy and the selfless service he practiced.
We fully support Pete’s family, friends, and colleagues during this devastating time. More information on how to support will be shared at a later time.
