Some requests from the weekend...
I am told that you folks are doing something amazing, giving us mobilizing troops a knife - that is incredible! This is an amazing gesture of your support, thank you.
Quit a few of my fellow soldiers have received knives from your organization, and I was wondering if I might be considered for one. If so, I really like the Gerber aircrew, if not, the Camillus BK2 would come in very handy. Thank you so much for the consideration and especially for the GRAND support of our units and nation.
I talked to a couple of friends of mine in the unit and they told me about your web site. I am really happy to see that there are still people out there who care about our troops. I was wondering if you had any knives left, would it be possible if I received one? Thank you for your support and your time.
Please send a free knife to my only son, Nick in Iraq. Thanks, he is my heart and soul.
Hello people at the hobbit hole,

I am a medic stationed with a battletion thats getting ready to head to Afganistan. Over my time in service, 14 years, I have found that the proper equiptment is key to success. While trama scheers are wonderful, they simply are not as quick and effortless as it could be.

I don't really need anything fancy or expensive, a sheath knife, pretty, but what I could really use is something that both allows me to quickly expose a wound as well as cut bandages or cargostraps. I don't know if it is possable but it would be very useful to get a Camillus seatbelt cutter. I can only say for certain that it would go to good use and remain in the medics tool chest for my unit.
I'm a section sergent for a phase team for Apache helicopters. I have 5 solders on my crew. As a motivation tool I was hoping that you could help me. My crew works some very long hours (12-16) getting these acft back up. I under stand that you might be able to help me out with some knives. I would like to use them as a safety awards. We just got back from Bosnia for a 10 month tour on a peace keeping mission. Now I just found out that I'm going to Afghanistan for a 18 month tour. I'm just trying to show the guys that they are doing a great job. I hope that you can help me out with this problem. If you send me a American Flag I well put it in a Apache helicopter under the pilots seat and tell you some of the missions it went on! Thank you for you're time.
I am a Sergeant and crew chief in the 1-183rd Aviation (Apache Attack Helicopter Battalion) who will deploying to Afghanistan in October. Could you consider me as a recipient for your knife give-away?

I have a lovely wife, and three wonderful children that I will leave behind.

Thank you for what you do.

Thread bump!

Nice work you two! I've been away from FR for 8 loooong days. Great to see comments from our troops. After nothing but the LSM doom and gloom for a week, it's wonderful to read this info.

Hats off to you both!

Good morning, bump!

From one of the letters: I am really happy to see that there are still people out there who care about our troops.

Those few words say so much. I hope this soldier knows that there are countless MILLIONS of Americans who support him and all of our fighting men and women. May God bless and protect them all.

Piles and piles of new requests!

Lets wake this thread up and remind everyone that we're still active, still giving out knives, and more requests come in every week. Every little donation helps!
