My son wanted a spare light to have while he is deployed in Iraq so I went
out and picked up a small LED flashlight and added a paracord lanyard and
paracord wrap to the body of the light.

It seemed like I could do something to make the package a little more
special, so I made this box to put the light in. He got it the day after
Christmas and liked the light, but liked the box even more. He had just
gotten his first Challenge Coin from his Captain and put it into the box for
safe keeping.

Very nice!
Thank your son for his service to all of us, and send him my best wishes
for a productive tour helping others get back on their feet. Most of all,
a safe and happy return home!

Great Idea and beautiful box. Might not be perfect for a soldier, but
a Pak-lite is nice for a spare light, snaps on the end of a 9 volt
battery so you can use up those smoke alarm batteries when you change
them out every 6 or 12 months. Fits in a shirt pocket. I love mine and
have given several as gifts.

Never confuse endurance with hospitality.

Wonderful present and makes me wonder why we have such talented young men
and women inlisted in and fighting such a nasty conflict. I wish your son a
safe return, and end to this war, and a return to domestic issues
confronting the American People.

You reminded me of Joe Behnke, one of the nicest people in the Manhattan
VA, who was killed in Baghdad in a vehicle accident, a little over 6 years
ago. I know Behnke is not an unfamiliar name.

I passed on everyone's well wishes and thanks to my son. Thanks to all of
you for your thoughts. This kind of support is very important to a deployed
Soldier.

He received the box on the day after Christmas. He us using it in and
unexpected way. His Captain gave him a challenge coin in recognition of his
hard work. He is keeping it in the box.
