Relentless Knives USA Support Our Troops

Thanks to all who helped, and Thanks to the Troops for their service.
2009 MAP PROGRAM Successfully Closed
THANKS AGAIN TO ALL!

Dan,

I received my Interceptor knife about 4 days ago from you and I am thoroughly impressed by the fact that I got this beautiful knife for free! I'm not good at winning things and don't get handed many door prizes, so I have to sincerely thank you for what you did for me and what you do for the US Soldiers serving their country. It is truly people like you that make serving a pleasure and not just a really shitty job. As promised, here is a picture of me and my new knife. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you in return.

Sincerely,

MSG Michael Sweeney

Sgt Sweeny: Hi....I was never a soldier, but was a cop and spent the last 10 on the warrant squad arresting people every day...all day.
So, I know a little bit about what you people are faced with, and, I certainly appreciate not having that riff raff in my front yard.
The knives are nothing compared to one second of the risks you face, but, it's all I can do, and Many Great American citizens have helped me to just say Thanks Fella's we appreciate it.
Your knife will be in the mail this week. I do need a photo back to show the donators and those who will help in the future, that I am doing my job in this.
Finally Thanks for the Thanks....and know this....I support the troops for selfish reasons.....those being FREEDOM!
Our country was started through Great sacrifice with one idea. That men were made to be FREE. That no man has the right to take a life without due cause, or enslave a person or population by force. American soldiers have fought and died all over the planet.....yet never without due cause and never against the principles stated above. I am so very proud of this.......and of you soldiers.
Several in my family died for that idea, as did your brothers in arms.....sad ...yes, but the tree of liberty has grown from their blood. I know you know this....but take every opportunity to repeat it. Never give up on freedom. Not while you are a soldier.....not when you are 99 years old.
It is a true and precious gift from God, and has made the USA the greatest country the earth has ever known.Not an Empire of Tyrants.....just a whole lot of great people who appreciate humanity and understand that it's freedom that allows men to grow.
Certainly there will always be bad guys, and they do keep cops, soldiers and weapons makers in business....LOL But they have to be kept in check or we are all toast....so
That's it....I'll get down from my soap box
Thanks also for participating in our program.
Your photos will result in it's continuance and put a smile on the face of the next soldier.
Stay Safe.
Out for Now

THANKS TO SGT MIKE SYTSNA Currently Serving in Iraq

The Email below, was received from the Mom of the soldier in the photo above.
THANK YOU and your family for protecting our freedom.
Also thanks to the people who have donated and make this program possible.

From: Rubye Sytsma October 15, 2009
I want to personally thank you for providing these knives to our service men and women. My beloved first-born Son is currently on his 3rd deployment in Iraq. He sent me your website address and also a picture of him and the knife you sent him. My deepest gratitude goes out to your company for helping to keep hope alive in our troops.
His dad is gonna be so envious when I show him the picture. I have printed all 3 of the pictures Michael sent me of him and the knife you sent him. These pictures will go into my Military scrapbook which now has 3 generations of my family members in it.
God Bless You!

excerpts from:
Men Who Answered The “Why?”
BY: Resa LaRu Kirkland
***This article was originally written at the behest of MoH recipient Gen. Raymond Davis, USMC ret., in 2001***
"Is the soldier man at his most base animal or most spiritual God? Is it the monster coming out in us, or the Deity weaving its way in? This is what I see when I look into the eyes of our warrior brethren. Thrown into the most horrifying concoction of man’s inhumanity to man, it is the fact that these mortals are capable of such unselfish, beautiful acts of humanity—no, Divinity—that reaches the heart and soul of those left behind in a dust-cloud of wonder. Of all God’s children, surely He must relate to and glory over the American soldier.
Why?
Greatest of all warriors on earth, the American soldier is capable of fighting fiercely, loving gently, living nobly, and forgiving totally. These are not the war-mongers that feminists and Hollywood have tried desperately to portray; these are gentle, loving creatures who want nothing more than to be free to go on living and loving. It is this desire that enables our brothers to choose to step out of their own selfish tendencies on behalf of another.
Whether it requires dying for a friend or living with the memories, the order of the day for the American soldier is and always has been that of sacrifice. For them, “life, fortune, and sacred honor” are not mere words.
No one has to tell them why."

THANKS TO PFC HANS MOSHER Currently Serving in Iraq

Dan: I
would just like to thank you in advance for everything that you’ve done, not
only for me, but for all the soldiers that you have helped. It really means
a lot to us. And as I've said before, when the time comes and you need it,
you really appreciate the value of a good knife. Thanks again Sgt Jason Ray

Sgt Ray......No problem here, and the Thanks goes to You, your men, and dogs, and to the great people who know
how difficult it can be to face not only the danger, but sometimes large amounts of time were better things could be done.
I personally figure that you people are stopping me from having to deal with terrorists in my front yard...LOL
More, THANKS to the Great people who have helped make these programs work by donating money and knives etc.

Sgt. Mark A. Perez

SEPT 2009
Donations for 2009 MAP program are now closed.
THANK YOU for all who have helped us.
We will still be sending knives to Troops who put in a request until the knives are gone.
The 2010 MAP PROGRAM will start in Feb 2010
Donations are now being accepted for that program.
PLEASE HELP US .

27 July:2009
Thank You Sgt Jason Ray for the photos.
A Don Llewellyn knife and Bruce Good sheath
are in the mail to you.
Also, since the American economy has been lagging a bit,
we need some help from our readers.
The handmade knives pictured below were made and being sent
by myself, and Don Llewellyn.
The factory sheath knives were donated by one man who wishes to remain un named, and the pocket knives were received by me as part of a knife
deal. I'm telling you this specifically to let you know that we have done this much thus far without asking for much in the way of donations.
Sgt Ray has requested some knives for his men, and I will make up to 6
M1 MAP knives at 1/2 price for these soldiers if anyone is willing to help.
this is above and beyond the knives seen below that have already been made, and (factory knives donated) which are being sent out to deployed soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
To make a donation, simply use the Paypal button on the catalog page and mark your payment MAP donation.
We will list the donations here, and make the knives a.s.a.p.
Please note that your donations are not tax deductible, and this programs is just an effort to show these men and women that we are behind them 100 %.
Also, there are no administration costs, and your donation simply pays for the materials and time expended in making the soldiers knives that they can stake their lives on.
Each Relentless knife is completely handmade by me in my shop.
We do ask the soldiers to send photos of them at work, and photos of them receiving their knives.
the photos are used for this page and the Enews.
and are an illustration of what the Troops are doing for US.

In times like these, with any number of important issues happening in the USA, it is too often that our soldiers are forgotten.
so, PLEASE help us in this effort.

Thanks in Advance
Dan Certo
Note: If your a deployed American military person,
send in your request, with photos of you at work.
Include your current APO address.
We can't fill all of the requests, but will do our best .
NOTE: Due to American Law, we can not send gifts to military personnel valued at over $20.USD.
So we are not sending you gifts but trading knives for photos.
So...no photos ....no knives.
Also, the photos must be taken by the person
sending them.
All photos become the property of me.
Dan Certo, and are simply used to promote the program.
Thank You for Your Service
Note further, that the program moves as quickly as possible, but I cannot know the movements of Troops etc.So, if you are the guy sending photos
and get sent home, I will do my best to see you get your knife, but
can not say more than that, as the program is for troops in war zones.
GOD Bless You and Keep You.
VICTORY TO The AMERICAN SOLDIER
GOD BLESS the REPUBLIC
note:if your offended by my reference to GOD....simply ignore it. He is one of the good guys, and completely understands you.

MORE in the Works

JUNE 2009
Seven Pocket knives sent to Iraq
Thank you very much for the gift knives. Most of the Mungadai were outfitted with the additional knives sent to Jeff Meeks. We are using these new knives as awards for outstanding performance by our Iraqi National Police brethren. While most INP's are not exactly cast from the mold labeled "warrior," we've got some guys that go above and beyond everyday in trying to accomplish the mission. Usually, all we can manage to give out as recognition for "above and beyond" duty performance is some certificates printed up via powerpoint. The guys who earn (what are now going to be called) the National Police Blades of Excellence will serve as an example to their more lackluster compatriots and help spur them on to more zealous duty performance.

Last Years Program

Again, Thanks to everyone involved in the 2008 MAP program.
It was a successful program, due to the generosity of many, we sent 23 items which included & handmade Relentless Knives 3 Handmade DL
knives and more.
We do ask that if you are a soldier, and you receive support, you will send us a photo to put on these pages in thanks.

Different than previous years we will attempt to
send the knives a bit at a time in order to get more photos back.
So if your deployed and you get knives, make sure you return photos of the stuff received

MAP 2009
Supporting Our Troops,
Year Five .
In the coming months, we will be handcrafting some top quality
Military Combat knives for these Brave American soldiers.
Watch this page, and the E news to see the knives progress, and finally to see the soldiers receive them.

We will also be writing letters to the wonderful people who have helped in previous programs, asking for gear and other items to extend this effort.
If you have knives or gear that would be useful to these, and other soldiers who might reply, please use the contact buttons on this sight to get in touch with us. We will insure that the stuff gets to the soldiers, and hope that they send photo's of themselves in appreciation.

Remember, this is not charity, the enemy is blowing themselves up for their cause. They believe in what they are doing, and are training their children to do the same.
Anything you might do here, are shots fired in the cause of freedom. Thanks to the Troops, and Thanks in advance to Americans who will follow through with

support for the soldiers.

Thank You Sir

Knives and more not pictured
procured from Jeff Knox

Thank You Sir

Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington DC is the first stop for many of America's returning wounded service members from Iraq and Afghanistan. Known as "the amputee ward", the orthopedic Ward 57 at WRAMC houses some of the most severely injured patients for weeks or even months. The painful sacrifice of losing one or more limbs is the new battle these service members and their families now fight.

Operation Ward 57 was started to have a direct way for individuals and companies to show their support and raise funds for these courageous men and women who have given so much.
The program is run through pro-football player Kerry Carter's THINK BIG FOUNDATION, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Tax ID: 20-196-2446, in partnership with Atmosphere Artist Management LLC. This is a grass-roots, volunteer effort. Each person who buys a T-shirt, not only shows their support, but directly contributes to items for the Ward, patients, family members and staff.

If your a company or an individual who wants to show your support, and join this effort please
contact
