Ryan Gets His Knife And Heads For Iraq

Remember Ryan? The soldier who's leaving next week for Iraq and is the recipient of the kindness of his on-line buddies at Bimmerforums.com? Here's an update from Incredible Daughter #1:

We succeeded in getting Ryan his knife! So far we have raised nearly $400, and a brand new Reeves knife will be in his possession before he leaves next Tuesday.

However, we are still raising money for his under-stocked platoon. If you would like to help Ryan and his fellow soldiers in the 82nd Airborne Division, please send your money to:

Paypal to: joe@hero-gear.com

Cash/check/money order to:
Hero-Gear
Attn: Operation Buller
521 South College St
Winchester TN 37398

Make sure you put Operation Save Buller in the subject line.

ID #1 tells me Ryan was very touched by this show of support. He said he feels it's not appropriate for him to keep the knife that came to him as the result of the kindness of others, so he will hand it over to another Iraq-bound soldier when he's safely home.

What an exemplary young man! Please keep him in your prayers.
