Every student who has successfully completed the SFQC since 2002 has received a Yarborough Knife free.
There was not enough money in the budget to give the guys on teams knives, much less all of the retirees.
I think LTG Yarborough may have gotten one for free. Others have gotten theirs as gifts, but someone had to pay for them.
