John,
The pens will be presented at the end of June.
I'll probably need to have everything ready by June 11.
Any pens received too late for 2013 will be used for 2014.
Thank you

Dave, the pens you and your daughter contributed are lovely.
The photos don't do 'em justice.
She should be very proud as should you.
Thank you for participating and supporting our servicemen and women.

How many pens have you collected for servicemen so far this year?

I have a few more sets of pens to make certain they're listed on the spreadsheet of contributors BUT as of right now: 933
If all the individuals who commited to producing and providing pens for our servicemen and women were able to complete their contributions, I believe we'd be over 1,000.

Any and all pens received after I leave for Chicago were the pens will be delivered will be donated during ServicePens 2014.

I want to thank all y'all for the great support in this event. I'm humbled, grateful and thankful to be able to honor the outstanding men and women who protect this nation and help preserve our freedom and liberty.

Thank you
Gary

[GaryMGg]

Two more packages containing 16 pens arrived from Stan Cook and Jeff_in_AZ.
Thank you for the contributions gentlemen. Very nice pens.
Stan, the leather cases are a great touch for protecting your craftsmanship.

I know seeing the brass tubes isn't desirable, but my kids love the "water bubbles." lol

When is the last day to have pens to you for this time around?

 

[GaryMGg]

Thank you.

Glen, that's a cool batch of pens with the cherry burl and the Corian.
Also a number of great pens from our Displaced Canadian, Patrick T, and the Johnsons.

Herschel, any pens which arrive after Sunday will go to ServicePens 2014--they won't be wasted.

And, after tallying up all the pens received to date, the number of pens contributed so this year: 1019

Thank you one and all.
