This project offers gratitude and support to the many Canadian Armed Forces Men and Women around the world who wear the Maple Leaf, not only on their shoulder, but also in their hearts. As a country, we are often pulled together by events that bring us pride in accomplishment. We are a country that respects human freedoms and dignity. One of our country's distinctions is that we are known as Peacekeepers.

A project to say "Thanks to Canadian Armed Forces Men and Women" serving on peacekeeping missions around the world.

As of February 18th, 2014 - 2212 Pens Sent

The above section has been copied from the Pens for Canadian Peacekeepers website with permission. I fully support the idea behind this and while it appears Jim has shut down the Pens for Canadian Peacekeepers website for personal reasons I still make pens with the support our troops ribbon on them and usually have one in my pocket which I give to active or retired military personel, or their relatives when I meet them.

This is one of the pens I sent to our troops in Afghanistan. The photo was sent back to me by the soldier who received the pen.

Here are a few letters from some of the troops who received one of my pens. Names and locations have been removed for security and privacy reasons.
