Night... I'm writing... I'm on a roll and want to see how far I can get, anyway.

I received both knives today when I got back from [redacted]. That is one outstanding little tool! I will give my son his when I go home this evening, but I wanted to immediately drop you a line and say thanks, again. (I have a lot of jealous pilots and Chiefs checking it out. LOL)
You sir, and your group, are certainly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to do this for the troops. I can't really call myself a troop, I USED to work for a living, but now its pretty much all paperwork for me.
I miss working the flight deck, in a bad way. My favorite days were when it was raining steadily and we were launching back to back short cycles, staying up there all day. I sure used to sleep well at night. But I also realize that at 45, I couldn't keep up with the kids any more. At any rate, even this old "troop" appreciates the generosity!
