The Freedom Pens Project

Freedom Pens are being made by individual woodworkers everywhere, from small towns to our largest cities, amateur woodworkers are donating their time, talent and personal funds to create custom pens as a symbol of their support for our military men and women. Our program is sponsored by the Online Woodworking Community of sawmillcreek.org. What are Our Goals for the Freedom Pen Program? We believe we can ship over 20,000 pens each year. Our target number is relative to the number of woodworkers who are willing to participate. Financial support will be necessary but we can produce hand crafted pens at a very low cost since all of our labor is a volunteer effort. The progress of our Freedom Pen program will be updated regularly here and in the Sawmill Creek Freedom Pens Forum. The men and women in our military forces serve and protect many nations all over the world. They are provided the very best equipment and technology by our Government but they need moral support from home, positive assurance that the people of our country are behind them every minute of every day. When one of our hand made writing instruments is used to write a letter home it is a symbol of our support and physical evidence that the people of America care deeply about their safety and are praying for their safe return home. It is a privilege for the members of Sawmill Creek Woodworkers Forums to develop and provide continued support for the Freedom Pen program. Our members are responding to our call for help and are excited about getting involved with such an honorable project that will touch the hearts of our sons and daughters in harms way. If you are serving in the United States Military and your unit is stationed in a combat zone anywhere in the world please contact us directly. We would be honored to provide you with custom handwriting pens, this is our way of showing our support and appreciation for your service to the American people. Here is a link to the original message that got our program started January 16th, 2004. As of 2016, our program is still active!
