Suggestion? for our troops Peace making efforts
Hi Guys, With anzac approaching this got me thinking. I know the US guys support there troops with making them pens and donating them as a gift. Would you Aussie be interested in helping me make some pens for the aussie troops that are over seas at the moment keeping our country safe with peace keeping missions. Would you be interested in helping me make some? If you guys would like to be part of this PM me. I am more than happy to man this. I have spoken to the one townsville chaplain here today who is prepared to help me to get the pens to the troops oversea. Anyone else interested in joining me helping me do this for our country men in service that are missing their families to be there for us?

hi Toni
from my experience make sure you have a strong person who will take care of it overseas and make sure it gets to the troops you want. We found that those of us out in the remote/front rarely got things sent from aus.
Work out specifically who you want them to get to and target that section with each one for a specific person. May be difficult logistically, but definately worth the effort.
cheers and good luck

The time frame is sort of something I have not sort of at all. It kind of just progressing as the day progresses what are your thoughts on a fair timeline?

Hi Dazzler, I have been in contact with a chaplain. I thought that a guy like him we could trust would you agree. Look Guys I am open to suggestiones here. This is new to me too. So thanks for that Dazzler
