This is an email message that I received this morning:

Sir/Ma'am,


I wanted to personally thank you for what you do for our deployed servicemen and women! I was in Kandahar and received one of your pens (American Cherry, made by Stu Bauer from Succasunna NJ). I was touched by your actions and wanted to let you know that each one of us appreciates the support we get from home! It is my favorite pen! And I smile every time I take it out to use it.

Please thank Stu for me, and please pass on all our thanks to the men and women who let us know each and every day that we are in their thoughts and prayers.

Thank you
