Donating to service man. FOUND!

Just wanting to bump this. I sent out as many emails as I could looking for someone. I never thought it was this hard to give away free money:grumpy:

Petah, email sent.

If we figure something out, I could make him a leather sheath for it my self. I would have to try some way to figure out how to make the sheath easily removable from his gear, but still solidly attached.

I can make a serviceable taco or pancake leather sheath with a normal belt loop, but am in the process of trying my first "easy detach" leather sheath.

Hey gentlemen,

I dont have it to burn, but I would be interested in helping you two get the rest of the funds up for this special donation. Very cool of you both LMK if I can be of assistance:thumbup:
 
Amazing community here. So many people come up to the plate. Thank you Jaxx, and Knife Hunter. I'll keep checking back/emails often as I can.
 
Hi Petah,

I will try to talk to Robert's dad tonight and see if he is in for pitching in.

I just don't have the scratch to make up the difference, so I will have to wait for his dad to be on board. It looks like we have a few others on here that would be willing to pitch in a bit.

Thanks


It will have to be late this evening, I am on a bunch of deadlines today, and have my kids 1st B day today, as well as dinner plans with the wife tonight. (early V day).
 
no worries BigF.

I have lots to do as well. Early V day, Moving, My womans leaving the country next week for good, getting ready to 'deploy' for another stint down the 'rabbit hole'
 
I'd be honored to be able to "donate" a knife or two for this excellent cause. :thumbup:
 
petah & Bigfattyt,

Would love to help when you guys find a worthy recipient. :) I respond quicker to PM's, so please drop me a note when y'all are ready. No rush! ...just restating that I'm in. :thumbup:
 
If your looking for someone to donate it to, call your local National Guard armory and/or Army/AF Reserve base, just about everywhere in the US is near one. They will certainly have troops heading to the sandbox.

When I was active duty nothing made me happier than to get an "any servicemember" package while deployed. It wasnt so much the items inside (of course they were valued), it was the idea that a citizen back home actually cared and was thinking about us.
 
Count me in. Anything I can do to help, just let me know.

PM or email me and let's put this together.
 
My Platoon is deploying to OEF in a couple of weeks. We'll be doing a year, that's double our norm.

I have all the knives I want, and I have given away a few myself, but I cannot outfit everyone. I don't ask for handouts, but if you guys can't find anyone more deserving, I'd love to pass a knife along to one of my new guys. I have some of the nations very best in my bunch.
 
Looks like we got ourselves a worthy candidate!! Anyone winmagfrog recommends has me on board and at the ready. :thumbup:
 
I sent another response email to Petah accepting, after talking to my cousin's dad. Robert is a 19 year old Marine.

Hopefully it is still on the table.

Thanks Petah.
 
Just got home...


SEE my first post I would like to help these 4 guys out.



Big Fatty originally emailed me and told me to put off for a day so I will honor it
(I didn't get the last email from ya. Petah(at)shaw.ca ) Send me an email k?

Once we get the knife funds squared away I say we call Dave Brown. and get a nice Boss jack sheath.

Jaxx (if you already helped out no need to add in more ;)), navyvet76, KH said they'd donate (send me an email on how much you boys are willing to give to this. I need to know how much Fatty's uncle is willing to put into this as well)

if we can do it I'd like to see if we can buy 2 knives depending on funds or even get some knives donated....


LMBZ06 I had a few emails about knives... If you had something you wanted to donate I have guys that emailed me


This is getting bigger than expected and I will be busy the next couple days so please have patience.

So... As I told Jaxx... I should not be on the Iphone while on the john for so long... (I think people are now concerned that I may be dead)

My original idea was to just help take the edge off of the procurement of a new knife for a service member. I'm going to try to stick with this as well as get knives (I'm thinking of you winmagfrog)

We can't be greedy. I know sometimes things are just a little bit beyond reach. I know there are a few that responded that are in this category. Others just can't afford at all. Likewise there are a few here as well. So, I'm going to try to Spread the Wealth.

IF you can help out with sheaths or some extra cash send me an email and I will put it in my spread sheet. I don't want to deny people a helping hand.
 
petah, winmagfrog has replied to me and I think we got some seriously worthy candidates. :thumbup:
