A good cause
Perhaps this should be brought up in a different forum but since it relates to folders I thought I'd start here. It is concerning a young man, Lt. Scott Smiley, who I don't really know but is a friend of a friend. This young man is a graduate of West Point and was an officer with the Stryker Brigade in Iraq. Several weeks ago he was targeted by a suicide bomber and severly wounded. He is now blind and is just now able to begin speaking again. He is 23 and was newly married befor being deployed and is now facing the rest of his life unable to see his new brides face. I put myself in his position and pray for him daily. It is my desire to give him a custom pocket knife with a stag handle that he can hold and stroke like I do my Queen Cutlry mini trapper. Is there anyone who would be willing to help make this a reality? I can't afford to buy one outright for him but would love it if someone could work a price for me. If anyone would like to write him he can be reached at WD 58 Attention Scott Smiley 6900 Georgian Ave NW Washington DC 20307
Thanks in advance for any help
