OPERATION BALLPOINT PENS:
Ballpoint pens. We have drawers and cups full of them in our offices. We leave them behind, we give them away, and if we happen upon a unique one, we try to find a way to claim it for our own. We rarely give a second thought to possession of a ballpoint pen. Did you know that in Afghanistan, a ballpoint pen in a breast pocket lets the world know that the bearer is literate. Ballpoint pens are highly coveted. Children in Afghanistan are especially in need of ballpoint pens in their schools.
One of our local soldiers serving in Afghanistan, Major Terry Howell, is helping build new schools. We got word from him that the students desperately need new pens.
I serve on the Grassroots Advisory Board of LA County Army Recruiting and the next few weeks we are all collecting pens to send over to Major Howell and the kids. Please help us by donating new ballpoint pens. We are collecting the pens at both of my district offices. Please drop off your ballpoint pens by October 11th in either of my AV or SCV offices. Thanks for your support!
