Hey guys. I'm a novice with this site so I didn't know this thread existed. I made a post in the levine forum but they said you guys might be able to better help. I'll post the link but what is basically says is I need help figuring out if this knife was made for the soldier whose name appears on the blade. If it was, I also need help in maybe finding this gentleman. A friend of mine gives me items to sell for him from time to time and he came accross this and decided the right thing to do would just be to find this soldier and give it to him. Thanks so much. Pictures are on this link as well.

Spyderco will engrave pretty much anything you want on a knife, as long as it will fit, so the engraving could have been done by them for whoever gave that Endura to LCpl Tower. It could also have been done for the giver by a local engraving shop. I suspect LCpl Tower sold it, for one reason or another. Not sure if the Marine Corps would give out his address, assuming they know it, but they may be willing to forward your offer to him.
 
Start by contacting VMA-223 "Bulldogs", they are out of Cherry Point, North Carolina. They are a Harrier jet squadron. They went for over 60,000 flight hours with no class A mishaps during that time frame and i'm guessing this knife was part of that commemoration? Everyone in the squadron probably got one and the LCpl probably isn't a knife fan, lost it in a bet, needed beer money...or a multitude of reasons.
I do commend you on your efforts though. It's a commendable thing that you are trying to do.
