Orange County Woodworkers,
I received a Freedom pen the other day. I was surprised and felt honored also. I am consistently amazed by the great effort that people back in the United States go to in order to make our lives a little better while we serve overseas. My team and I are serving in Iraq and we all received the pens. At first we didn't know exactly what to do with them. Some of my team have yet to take them out of the plastic bags for fear of damaging the pen and getting it dirty or losing it. Your effort means so much to us over here, that I want to thank you taking the time to support the United States soldiers, marines, airmen, sailors, and even the coast guard members that are over here. You bring rays of hope and sunshine into our lives by your gift. Thank you!
