Knox
…skim the ground as if the heaviness of shedding his armor has freed him, inviting a new Knox to enjoy life and a new identity. We expect that by the Holidays, Knox will have a family of his very own, and that his transformation from unwanted to wanted will provide a completeness that he deserves. In a world of uncertainties, it is a certainty that this survivor will pack only two items when he goes home….a little red bucket, and a big bag of loya…

Shields and Scout Update
…this sounds pretty darn great…it is actually so much better. The new Red Bucket families respond to the responsibility of providing a home in the most extraordinary of ways.

The list is endless, and it is accented with sacrifice, respect, adorat…
