When Operation Enduring Freedom kicked off, and we were packing out for Afghanistan, a bunch of good guys donated a bunch of good khuks to guys in my unit.
That spirit of patriotism and support has risen once more as we prepare to deal with the Iraq situation. Fellow forumites have been contacting me asking if they can send blades to give to the guys. I got a package recently from Logan1 that contained not one, but three knives. A 15" Sirupati that's a wickedly fine knife, and, for the younger troops that are into modern tactical blades, a Becker Combat Utility and a Kabar next generation fighter. Raghorn has an 18" Bura made Kobra in the air and on it's way to Fort Hood. Amazing. I was moved last time by the unselfish support of the HI cantina good guys, and I'm no less awed and appreciative this go around. I can't say enough to express my thanks, and really wish with all my heart that you guys could see the look on these young warrior's faces when I put your knives in their hands.
A lot of folks have said it before, but I'll say it again, you can look hi and low, but noplace, noplace, are you going to find a better bunch of guys than right here in the Cantina.
