Hello all,
So, I'm on the way home Friday night and I come across a bunch of my neighbors out in the yard with flashlights. I stopped to ask what's up, and of course the man is a Marine who just got back from overseas and lost his keys playing with his god daughter. Being in the business of finding small objects I immediately offered to help. Long story short, he had a brain short circuit and had left them inside, but we got to talking afterwards and he was telling me he just got back from Afghanistan and was playing with his god daughter who's father just replaced them. So today I went by their place and left off my Ka-Bar Bulldozier for the man who's home and my gen. 1 Benchmade CSK with a swiss army, lighter, and flashlight in the pouch to be sent to the APO of the little girl's dad. I hope to god the knife gets there safely, but more importantly, that it never has to get used. At least not for what it's designed for. Not often I get to say that about a sharp object, so I just had to share. To all those on active duty and you have returned, retired and survived Thank You. (P.S. Mods, if you think this is better off in political please feel free to move it. I wasn't sure where it belonged.)
