Because of the Hobbit Hole knife project, I was introduced to a wonderful Army Captain, currently serving in Iraq. I purchased two knives and sent them to him, and he distributed them to two of his soldiers who could use them the most.
This is a portion of an e-mail that I received from him today:
Will try to remember the CD I burned with all the group pictures tomorrow. This place has aged me. It is a good thing I have less than 24 days!! Thank you for all your support! You have really help time go by quickly. Your friendship, thoughts and just banter were certainly something to look forward to and continue to look forward to. Just wanted to say thank you. I will write you tomorrow.
Sometimes it is the little things that count the most. Without the Hobbit Hole's inspiration, I would not have gotten off my butt and contacted a soldier in Iraq.
I can not thank you enough for what you have done for both of us.
Great! Thank you so much! I hope, when you get them, you are allowed to share some of the pictures with us!
