KNIVES: More veterans honored

On Sept. 20, U.S. Air Force veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan were presented with 23 Buck commemorative knives for their honorable military service. In addition to the commemorative knife, each veteran receives a special thank you card, and a packet containing a list of all donors, and publicity of previous presentations.

From October 2009 through September 2012, veterans of the 92nd Air Refueling Wing have been presented with 533 Buck commemorative knives.

Every cent donated is used for the purchase of these special knives for our veterans. My wife and I pay all expenses of this program.

We thank God, Chuck Buck, Buck Knives Inc., Mike Patrick, the Coeur d’Alene Press, the Post Falls Press and all our donors for making these knives a gift to our veterans.
