So you know you do make a difference.
While I don't turn this is an awesome thing you guys have been doing so thank you so much! Our vets mean a lot to me (and obviously to you guys too!) and I know that everything that makes them smile is worth it. There is nothing quite like having older vets smile when they see you at the VA because when you're there helping whether its delivering care packages or helping the wheelchair bound down to a worship service/ mass it lets them know that people do care and are thankful for what they've done for us.

Thank you so much for sharing. I am sure this will mean a lot to those who have turned pens for the Freedom Pens Project. There are almost 246,000 that have been distributed.

I saw this and knew that it would be something positive to share. I know that you likely get little feedback and this just let's everyone involved know they make a difference. Thank you for the amazing expression of support you provide to so many who are serving.Quote:

The Freedom Pens Project is an all volunteer program with seriously dedicated people who go the extra mile for our Troops because we know they appreciate a gift from home.
Thanks Jackie!!!
It is my pleasure to be able to do this for our troops.
I would also like to give a shout out to Joe Vander Linden who has been raising money for the project and shipping pens as well.
