Of course I have no idea how to organize something like that. Just thought it might be nice.

Sir, I would be willing to make a contribution to help defray costs if you considered donating this knife to the family of Marine Corps Cpl. Jason Dunham. He recently received the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously for throwing himself on a grenade to protect his friends.

We may have something here. Are you friends of the family?

Sir, I am not acquainted with his family, I recently read of Cpl. Dunham's heroics and when I saw this knife, I realized it is more a presentation piece than a user and I can't think of a more deserving soldier. It shouldn't be too difficult find his family and I'm sure donations would roll in. Let me know what you think. Greg

I'll pledge $20. If 19 others will do the same, we can match Butch's original asking price. If we're going to do this, we probably should move the thread out of the sale forum.

Here is the picture and story on the young man.

One day in April 2004, Cpl. Jason Dunham and his men were patrolling an insurgent stronghold near the Syrian border when an Iraqi leapt out and grabbed the 22-year-old Marine around the neck. Dunham, seeing his attacker had dropped a live grenade, snatched off his helmet and put it over the explosive.

The helmet did help blunt the explosion — and saved the lives of others. But Dunham suffered serious injuries from flying shrapnel. Eight days later, he died from his wounds. His actions earned him a Medal of Honor nomination.

In a new book, Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Phillips chronicles the incident, and the effort to save Dunham's life. Michele Norris talks to Phillips about Dunham's story.
