PENS TO
TENNESSEE
NATIONAL GUARD
The Stones River Woodworkers Club of Rutherford County
recently gifted over 200 hand crafted ball point pens to the 269th
Military Police Company of the Tennessee National Guard based in Murfreesboro.
Upon hearing of the company’s extended deployment and the
sacrifices the Guardsmen and their families have made on our behalf, the Stones
River Woodworkers Club members were moved to show their support and
appreciation for the Guard’s service to the community, the State, and the
Country.
In addition to providing support in area’s hit hardest by
the COVID pandemic, the 269th Military Police Company has served an
extended deployment on the Texas/Mexico border helping train local law
enforcement agencies as well as providing a large police presence along the
border wherever help is most needed.
The gifted pens are made from locally harvested cherry wood
and feature a military-like flat black enamel finish on the metal components. Because every pen was hand crafted on a wood
lathe by the club members, no two pens are exactly alike. The individual members applied his/her talents
and nuance to each pen resulting in a unique and novel gift for every
Guardsman.
The Stones River Woodworkers Club is proud to participate in this project and look forward to more opportunities to serve Rutherford County. For more information about the SRWC, visit the web site at www.stonesriverwoodworkers.com or the Facebook page: Stones River Woodworkers Club.
