Fountain in royal blue. Thanks for asking
The roller ball is also acceptable when less elegance is required

I can never pull off elegant without an ink incident. I'm a lefty.

Used a fountain pen in elementary school for a couple years but don’t recall them leaking and ruining a shirt. I think *maybe* I put them in a plastic bag or left them in my desk...you know, when you could actually leave personal items in school and not worry about someone taking them.... Gonz

Thus the pocket protector noob.
Of course the whole thing was tongue & azzcheak.
The only thing anyone here is putting in their shirt pocket is a good cigar. Unless your name is tony in which case it'll be a crap cigar.
Lighten up goobers... or fight & boast over your superior pen knowledge if that helps you feel good about yourself dulta

This is so cool! I used to send gars and stuff to another cigar charity. When I served one of the most cherished things I enjoyed was the handwritten letters and notes of encouragement and inspiration. Just news and pictures were enjoyed too. I think having those and even drawings from kids with those cigars would kindle my spirit being soy far from home. Those type of relationships transcend all barriers and distances and its something in challenging myself to do today.
I also have a big jar of change im going to cash in and send (no pocket lint) and work on those other donations resources allowing. Thanks for doing this!

nah...I'm not superior...just messing with you for that "elegant" remark

don't carry a pen anymore, and never in a T-shirt, always a dress shirt, when I used to wear dress shirts...nowadays I mostly wear Tees, unless it's super hot, it'll be tanks...on the look out for tanks with pockets...

pockets on T-shirts come in handy for my glasses, which I take off when I read, or want to look at something close up...

I'm in. Missed it last year but will not miss it this year. Already emailed donation details to Yaro..
This is easy gentlemen - and for a very worthy cause. Need more participation.

I have been doing the PayPal automatic payments for five years now - just set it and let it ride. I figure I'm good for paying shipping for one box a month - you do the math.

OpFTH is an incredible group that works to ease the difficulty of being deployed by reminding those out there that we are thinking of them and we care. I first learned about the group on this Forum. Did a little homework and realized how important the simple act of kindness they do can make such a big difference. They deserve our support.

Please add a "Madspackler Madness" prize package to the list.

I do not wish to be considered for a prize - life has been good to me and my family,

EC

I can't take part in the festivities this year (just don't have the time to put a package together properly) so I would like to take my name off the prize list. I did just buy a t-shirt and think this year's might be the best yet. Also, keeping the $10 a month going as it really is so easy to contribute to such a good cause!

updated - if i missed anything please let me know. i was stuck working from the office these last 3 days ( dont tell people you will need to head back when everyone has been away for 3 months) and that firewall blocks cbid and limited cell singal in that building.

given all that, here is bump for the t shirts, 1 day left on those. the fundraiser for cigars or pocket lint goes through the 4th, and i usually draw one of those day when i get my post it notes all together.

thanks and lets keep this going even if i am slacking

Top. Updated. update -

So the Tshirt wndow has passed. apart from the (IMO) really cool design to help you remember the year of the facemask, we outdid the shirt sales from last year by 3. thats pretty sweet. given all that is going on in the world, i am happy we did what we did, and thats all due to y'all.

we are still rolling with the CAT for this week, so as always lets finish strong, even if we are limping behind the keyboard. i will keep continuing to say thanks, and all so far is super appreciated.

as always, please reach out if i skipped someone/something on the update.

Everyone have a great week leading up to independence day!

Thanks and God Bless
