I thought that I had left plenty of time for the pens to arrive by Anzac Day but they only arrived yesterday
Below are two emails I have received, well done everyone

Hi Bruce
Thanks for the box of pens, they arrived today.
They are really excellent and are causing quite a stir among the people here. I have started handing them out and I expect you will start to receive some thank-you emails and letters in return.
Not only are they appreciated because they are hand-made but also because everyone needs a pen and so these gifts are very functional and practical as well.
Thank you very much for your efforts on behalf of the troops here.
God bless you for your work

Touchwood is correct. ANZAC DAY was pretty busy where we are and the pens would not have received the focus they deserved. But now ANZAC Day is in the past, the pens are the new really big thing happening here. Thanks for thinking of us.

Umm
Small apology - I was to make pens for the ANZAC Day push. I missed Sam's deadline but with his agreement I posted them to the worthy central point myself just after easter - seems unlikely to have got there yet given the posts above
anyway this is what I sent...

Another email of appreciation
Bruce,
Our Chaplain, James Pearce, has just been around the workplace and handed out some of your hand made pens. It will come in very handy over the next 6 months of my deployment in Afghanistan. I would like to say thanks and am happy that you have used some of your time to manufacture and donate them to the Aussie troops on operations around the world.
Kind regards,
MAJOR Chris McKendry

Mr. Sanders,
I am a US Army Soldier currently deployed to Afghanistan. I am working
with numerous Australian service members, and my boss, WGCDR Mark Larter
RAAF gave me one of the pens that your organization sent over here.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your supporters for this
marvelous and PRACTICAL gift. I very much appreciate it and if I wasn't
typing this e-mail I would be writing with it right now.
Please pass along my gratitude to your comrades.
Very respectfully,

to the folks at Boronia VV Assoc.

All the best,
