A Celebration of Life and Courage

It was a profound honor to attend an evening at the Embassy residence of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, representing our Veterans community alongside Robert’s father John, former Army Ranger Wing, and his brother Ricky of the Irish Air Corps. The gathering brought together families, colleagues, and supporters to witness the presentation of a posthumous Medal of Honor in recognition of Robert’s sacrifice. It was a solemn and meaningful moment shared with other families who continue to carry the weight of loss with dignity.

Robert Deegan was a highly skilled and dedicated soldier who previously served with the Army Ranger Wing and the Engineers Unit of the Defence Forces Training Centre. He was also a valued member of our team at securitysafety.eu in Ireland, where he was respected for his professionalism, discipline, and commitment to others. His presence left a lasting impression on those who had the privilege to work alongside him.

In 2022, shortly after the outbreak of the war, Robert chose to support the Ukrainian effort and served with the special forces Stugna group. Later that year he was medically evacuated to Ireland after losing an eye in a bomb attack. Despite the severity of his injuries, his resolve and sense of duty remained clear to all who knew him.

Robert Deegan, aged 29, from Newbridge in County Kildare, died on the front line in September 2024 while serving with Ukrainian special forces. His life reflected courage, loyalty, and a deep commitment to service.

We remember Robert with respect and gratitude. May he rest in peace, and may his family find strength in the honor of his legacy.
