Thanks Guys,
At the present time I'm leaning towards a Raffel. I'm thinking 100 tickets at $20.00 each. That would make a $2000.00 donation to the WWII veterans memorial in DC. And also give those that buy tickets a fair shot at it. Does that sound resonable to you guys? |

That's awesome Andy!
I'll be needing a few tickets when they go on sale. __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions." |

Can't wait to see it after scrimshaw. Especially can't wait 'til raffle tickets are available. Absolutely beautiful AND what a great cause. My son will be home from the gulf this december after 6 long years and this thread has re-ignited my feelings of patriotism and longing for my son to be home. God bless both of you.

Thank-you sir. My son did 13 months in Iraq in 03=04. My thoughts are with you and yours. Its time people remember our soldiers are still in harms way even if CNN no longer covers it 24/7. Thank-your son for me.

I do not know if you still need help on carving the handles or not? However, Tommy2feathers is very good
