I mailed out two Camillus BK2s, a couple of Camillus folders, and a Gerber aircrew knife to the Army NG aviation unit earlier in the week. Today, I got hit with a flood of happy emails as the knives arrived, and were passed around. It sounds like Christmas arrived early.

There's literally a dozen emails, but here's the latest, from the LT who received the Gerber. He also contributed to the Hobbit Hole project, already.

This is 1LT Craig W. I just received the knife today....WOW!!! Those are about the only words I can use to describe this thing. I have a flight tomorrow morning that I will have some time to play with this while we're in the woods. I will definitely give you some feedback!!! Already I am amazed that you folks are giving this quality of equipment away. I know word has spread like wildfire about these knives that the 4 of us have received. I hope we don't overwhelm your resources. I am planning to get some folks to donate to the cause, and I don't think they will mind the least bit. Again, thank you very much. It's a good feeling to know that we have people like you supporting us on the homefront. I will be sending you reviews as I get to use this knife!!!!

It never ceases to amaze me how they can be so grateful to us when it is ~us~ that are so grateful to them.

My tagline says it all...

Just received this email from a college classmate. Her son is finishing his training and had some health setbacks. Winmag sent a knife to his home:

"Corin"

The knife came in today and it is just beautiful, pretty technical, too, with all the straps and attachments. I was glad that I had looked at the website so I recognized the harness/shroud line cutter. (I would hate to be an ignorant mom.) I have copied the website with the picture of the knife and harness cutter to send to K. When I spoke to him on Tuesday, he had just gotten the letter telling him about your organization and the knife. He was very uplifted to know that you were supporting him.

I will keep J in my prayers, and I guess I should pray that you can successfully maneuver a ladder without any help, too.

Many blessings and thanks again for all the support for K,

"K's Mom"
