I participated as probably you have in pens for troops drives. If you do already please don't respond to this unless you want to give pens to THIS effort. There is a Marine Logistics base in Barstow and marines need pens too.

Steve J has five pens and I will contribute ten pens. Who wants to play?

Tomtedesco has offered blanks. If needed I'll ask Ed at ExoticBlanks for a deal on kits, but only if you can't spare a drew whole pens.

There are probably more marines than pens we could make so give what your pocket and time can spare. I'll give ten and can donate Spectraply Brown blanks.

Just the other day my wife asked what I was going to do with all the pens. This is a perfect solution.
Let me know where to send them.

While I will again try to get photos of the presentation of pens be aware that photos of military folks can be hazardous to them and their families. If they give them to me you will see them here, if not THEY WILL GET THEM, I guarantee it.
 
I have a few pens of all different kinds i should be able to send about 12 more or less since I have stopped making them. Till prices comes back down. I make pens just to give veterans and first responders. Only, I don't sell anything but do it for them. GOOD THING YOU DOING
 
I have BLANKS!!! If you want some for this pens for troops effort. Send me your address and I'll ship a full small flat rate box. Spectraply in gray and cinnamon are the most numerous but I can send a variety if you wish.

I have a few random pen kits that were donated. Orion and others. Let me know if a kit is all that is keeping you from participating.
 
Here are my pens in process. Thanks to Ed at ExoticBlanks I'll use Diamond Knurl Thank you pens for my lucky 11. Pens are coming in and I'll post photographs a a few minutes. Some blanks donated to the cause by Tomtedesco. Thanks

Remember even this is a Marine logistics base - EVERY MARINE IS A RIFLEMAN!

Send one or more to me.

These pens are from Patrick of Zionsville, Indiana. As with Kenny's pens Patrick's are diverse and excellent. As an intermediate turner I can see their skill.

Mark,
I am sending 30 of my military bullet pens. They are made with once-fired military rounds that are polished and powder coated.

We are indeed fortunate to have your special pens.

Each time I do this I am humbled by my offerings and impressed with yours. Thanks
 
Ok I've been a bit slow with these pens, but here they are from Jim Lane of Fair Oaks, CA. Thanks Jim for the varied and glorious pens.

Paul Sherman of Jonesboro Arkansas sent 30 bullet pens for the troops. They are very interesting and should be well liked. Thanks

I mailed the pens today and will ship out Paul's pens tomorrow. Thanks again to all who helped. If you still have pens I'll gladly get them to the Marine base.

This card just arrived in the mail. I've not been to this base and the invite is "inviting".

Thanks to all who made this happen.
