Outstanding info about the knives! There definitely HAVE been instances of soldiers drowning because of their vehicles going into the water and their being stuck. I think that's how the NBC reporter died during the war. I'm sorry to say I can't remember his name, but I remember his face as he was riding on top of the transports across the desert. He was having the time of his life! Too bad it was cut short.

I had heard of some of those cases of vehicles overturning in the water too. Maybe it was that journalist I heard about. But, it really brought it home to me to have Tom standing there in the airport relating the story! I know now we are all glad we've sent knives! :-)
