Matthew Sampson served in the U.S. Marine Corps and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2022 he volunteered to fight in Ukraine, where he spent 635 consecutive days in combat operations, including in Bakhmut.
Back in the United States, he now takes what he witnessed on the battlefield to Capitol Hill. Independence Avenue Media followed his story on both sides of the Atlantic, from Kyiv to Washington, D.C.: why he keeps returning to Ukraine, what Ukrainian soldiers are telling him now, and what he wants members of Congress to understand before they vote.
