    Hi everyone it has been suggested by Amos aka Woodenink that we have a mine mid year collection for Vietnam Veterans.

    We will run in this thread and the cut off will be 31st July 2012.

    Amos has kindly donated to engrave every pen that I receive

    Scott many thanks, all you have to do is make as many pens as you wish and forward them to me. I will PM my address.

    When I have all the pens I will forward to Amos for engraving and we will distribute them from there.

    This is a very worthy cause as this will be the first time most of these vets have ever been thanked for their service.

    This can be a regular mid year project to keep things on the go.

    I work at the Austin and Repatriation Hospital in Melbourne, the repatriation campus has extensive facilities to assist and care for all veterans, especially Vietnam. Let me know if you would like some contacts there.

    Cheers and thanks for organising, a very worthwhile endeavour.

    Thank you Scott when we get to the distribution of these pens then we will need some contacts, sound like an excellent place to start especially as Amos is also in Melbourne.

    Sundowner has just committed 50 kits to this and I have about 30 here so were are already off the ground so to speak.
