The real problem is the "sacrafice" to make a few pens, we need to remember in our hearts, the real sacrafice the troops have made, that helps us to put the effort into making some pens. Just dedicate one afternoon to it, it is a reward in itself. When all is almost gone, when our numbers are down, when it looks like "this is it!", that is when we need to stick together and make a go of it; Thanks Sam for looking after Pens for The Troops, I do pray there may be some extra effort by us all to continue this worthy cause.

    Well said Amos

    If Amos in his present condition can pen a post to encourage us like he has, I think it is up to us now to react and keep this good cause going.
    It is easy to get caught up in our everyday lives and feel comfortable, but forget about those who are not as fortunate and will be away from family at this great time of year.
    As Amos says, it is not the financial commitment, just time. It is now too late for the Christmas batch, but I will certainly provide some for the next shipment.

    Very well said Dallas. Amos is just one in a million. We are always open for pens. Its good to see we have brought some new life into the cause, well done everyone.

    Default Pens for the Troops

    Well done Brad for your generosity,the more folk that come on board will ensure that this initiative stays alive...MM
    hi Ironwood and Mapleman, my husband has taught me to turn pens recently and my cousin just joined a long line of our family to enter the army...I would love to turn some anniversary pens for 2015 for the troops with the special timbers you both have mentioned...I would also like to make a couple of expensive kits with the timber and sell them with the pens we make, with a percentage of profit to go to an organisation that supports the troops (and be marketed as such). Alongside marketing for 2015 commemoration pens I think we could do quite well with pens and proceeds for our troops...do you think this is acceptable?

    I'm a school teacher on holidays at present so have a little time up my sleeve...I'd love to hear what you guys think

    Marissa, if you want some pen blanks or some kits, contact Simomatra by PM, (Sam), if you include your phone number in the Private Message, Sam could speak with you directly, Amos
