Around here the two go hand in hand. Because the truth is, a Gerber isn't a Gerber until it's got a few (or a few hundred) stories under its belt.
From Garry Moore:
I just wanted to say thank you for your help in getting my son's Gerber tool fixed. It is a very special item for me
and as you know I was lucky to get it. This tool survived my son's heavy use, Fallujah, and a helicopter crash
intact and is a great testament for its durability and craftsmanship. A friend of my son's (a fellow Marine from his unit)
came to visit us and when he saw that I had the Gerber tool he told me that before they left for Iraq my son went
out and bought paint so he could camouflage his tool. He also told his friend that there was nothing on his weapon that he
could not fix with his tool. That is the confidence he had in that little tool.
Again, thank you for your help in getting that tool fixed for me and for the sheath. I do not know what happened to the original sheath, but I can only assume that it was lost in the helicopter crash.
May God Bless you and your family.
Your Friends,
Garry, Suzanne, Ariana, Sue-Lane and the rest of the Moore family
Never forget 9/11 and all who have lost their lives protecting our FREEDOMS.
