A Colombian marine found his final rest in Lviv

Original version ·

He came from Santa Marta to fight for freedom, and now he's home in the city he chose as his last.

When Juan Sebastian Restrepo Mazo, known as Onyx, left his life in Colombia to join the International Legion, he didn't just show up to fight; he became a local legend. A career marine with a soft spot for stray dogs, he was as professional as they come.

He served in the 413th Regiment, earning multiple Golden Cross awards. He saw the war as a fight against a red plague that threatened everything he believed in. After he died near Huliaipole, his wish was simple: to be buried in Lviv, the city he loved.

Respect to a man who crossed an ocean to defend values he didn't even grow up with.

    People talking about foreign volunteers like it's a game, but this guy literally gave everything for a country he wasn't born in. Respect.

    Why is this not bigger news? This dude sounds like a straight-up hero.
    +1 jokeAsking why the media ignores heroes is like asking why water is wet; it's just not profitable enough for them
