Special Wounded Warrior Project Auction Starts Today!

“I ran across that first Wounded Warrior knife you put up and I won back in the day (2009).  How would you like to have it back to raffle off again?  It was a 2009 2nd cut jigged stag 89.  Be my pleasure to donate it if you want to do it.  Already engraved with Wounded Warrior Supporter on the blade……………”
“Greg, ……..  I’d like to do this in honor of my daughter, Amanda, who was an Army MP Sergeant involved in an IED explosion when she was stationed in Baghdad in November 2003.  She still has constant headaches and a 90% VA disability from the Traumatic Brain Injury she suffered. At that time the HMMWVs were not armored and the explosion blew the vehicle upside down.  Both her and the driver were knocked out and when she came to, the vehicle was on fire.  She pulled the still unconscious driver out and then the HMMWV burned up totally.  Anyway, she refused the Purple Heart because she didn’t have a gunshot wound – she was a stubborn one.  At that early time in the conflict, all the brain injury issues from the IED explosions were unknown.
 
Anyway, I’m honored that you’d put it up again for auction at some
point.
I just found out about this  one and it is over tomorrow at noon

Wow=I want one!!!

It is still a museum, a portion of the proceeds from the sales goes back to the museum, and the Wounded Worriers Project. The ship is constantly being upgraded (maintained) do to the salt water it sits in.

Paul,

Goodness I wish they would put that handle material into production.  But then I want you to own the only one LOL

Comment by Ron Cooper on August 27, 2014 at 17:17

Congratulations, Paul! That sure is one beauty of a knife! And thank you also for your contribution to the Wounded Warrior project! For so many of our brave men and women the real battle begins once they have shed their uniforms. Enjoy your new knife in good health, my friend!
