Is there a project going on right now? My husband (Dave ) is active duty and works with the WTB. He has brought home 2 pens this last year. It would be really nice to contribute to such a program.
While it is wonderful to have someone think of the military and take the time to make these pens. They are poorly made. Nothing like I have seen in the pictures of pens for the military. The most recent pen has no finish, obvious tool gouges, areas that could actually give splinters, a crack and doesn't fit together right at the center.
I may sound a bit harsh and I apologize for that. I just want to contribute something we (Dave and I) would be proud to have someone carry.
For me it is about giving our service men and women our very best work. Giving them a tangible "Thank You" something that I took time out of my day to make m ear perfect because I want them to know how much I appreciate the sacrifices they make each and everyday to protect our nation. It is saying that while you are away at war, I thought of you and took time out of my "busy" schedule of sitting in my warm/air conditioned office to create something for you. I care about you and rather than just sending you some more baby wipes or beef jerky, I worked with my hands and created something that you can hold in your hand and see I am thankful for all you do.
My husband (Dave) has served 16 years in the Army and while he has been away at war I am continually thankful that a man of such integrity represents this nation in a small way, our service members are never thanked enough. They have not been given the respect over they years that they should have been.
If there is even one veteran on this thread I want to say Thank you for insuring my freedom and protecting my rights. Thank you for leaving a trail for others to follow. Thank you.
Well, I do believe I need to get off my soap box now. LOL
If there is a program please let us know. I am getting ready to place an order for some kits and I think I(again Dave, I just buy stuff) am good for 5-10 pens.
