Didn't know if y'all were aware of this effort by the FR Hobbit Hole gang. We've been sending knives to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The guy running the program could sure use some donations to continue. You can see from the BLOG just how many have been sent. My nephew, Alexander, an Apache Longbow pilot in Afghanistan, was sent one a couple of months ago.

If any of y'all could see your way clear to donate a few bucks, you can see by the letters from the soldiers who have received them, that the guys and gals really appreciate having a fine tool to use.

Thanks for allowing the brief commercial interruption. ;o)

Could you post the costs of the items you are seeking donors for ... in case anyone is interested.

I see from the Hobbit Hole site that you all have donated over 900 knives so far, but that the current units who were promised knives are deactivating and going to be home soon, and you'll be shipping the knives to their homes when you get enough donations to continue your project.

We managed to get 92 headlamps to Mosul and 35 to Kirkuk. And now the new unit at Mosul is already equipped with them by the Army.

I will check with the new unit in Mosul if they already have a good knives. And I'll check with the soldiers at Tal Afar.

Meanwhile let me know the prices.

Thanks, Suzi!
