Got this freepmail the other day, from armymarinedad. He has three sons in the military, and got a HHD knife from us for each of them. I invited him to stop by here, but I guess we scared him away.

Hi

The knives arrived today. We will get them off to the boys in their next care packages. I am sure they will put them to good use and they will be something to remind them that Ameicans do care. A knife of that quality from a total stanger becomes a keepsake for life. Thank you.

THREE sons in the military?? That's wonderful! They'll be in our prayers, for sure. Hope they enjoy the knives!

I wanted to stop in and say thanks to all those here who are doing troop support. I am grateful for all you are doing for our children deployed. It is great to see people truly supporting our troops. I talk to a lot of people who say "I support the troops", but you folks are putting words into action. I greet returning troops here in Bangor and nothing is more heartbreaking than to hear one of them say they feel forgotten. I only wish I could bottle the hobbit hole and put it in the liberals water system. Morale for our troops is the most important thing we can do for them. Keep up the outstanding work you are doing.
I would like to invite you all to visit the Blue Star Mothers web site and post a message to the troops. Blue Star Mothers of America has been around since WW2 and the messages you post are downloaded and mailed to our kids overseas. We also get a lot of hits from deployed military. You mught also enjoy the press release there dated 12/9. It is about Medea Benjamin and her little jaunt to Iraq. Here is the link http://bluestarmothers.org/
Once again thanks for the knives but most of all thanks for your patriotism and support to our children in harms way. As I end all e-mails to my kids; Stay Strong Stay Brave Stay Safe.
