October 10, 201411 yr Our services are required Patriot Woodworkers! Homes for our Troops has placed an official request for 12 Challenge Coin Displays to be handed out at various key ceremonies around the nation. This event is their annual "Home for the Holidays" where they have timed the construction of the home, and the key ceremony to coincide with the moving in of the airman, marine, sailor or soldier in time for the holidays. This is a wonderful event and it will be an honor to have some displays made by our Patriot Woodworkers at these ceremonies. They only need twelve, so I am hoping between myself and some volunteers we can make this happen. The displays will be shipped directly to HFOT, so attention to detail and perfection during the construction of these displays is of the up-most importance. Our HFOT contact has stated they will have some images of the hand off to the service member(s), so this will be exciting. The Patriot Woodworker Community will pay the shipping to HFOT, and if you need to be covered for material, we can probably do that too. Time is of the essence on this one, I am sorry for the short notice. The displays must be in their hands by November 1st as their event starts November 7th, and they will need time to ship them to the various home sites throughout our nation. To view our last display campaign that was sent to Operation Ward 57 please click on the album below. I'd like to thank our volunteers in advance, and I am always so proud of how we give back to those who put it all on the line for us. If you are able to volunteer for this event, please respond below. Related Link How to Build a Challenge Coin Display If you'd like to learn more about Homes For Our Troops click on the image below

October 10, 201411 yr Author I found enough walnut to make an aircraft carrier, if that is suitable. That is so wonderful Lew, but, and it's a big but, there are no Navy recipients this go around, Marines however, but no Navy. How about our standard issue display Lew? You up for one of those?
October 10, 201411 yr Author Awesome! Lew, please remember to sign a message on the bottom with a heartfelt message for the recipient, that is what makes these special. Thanks Lew, let me know when you are ready to send it. If you need help with associated costs, please PM me. Thanks again!
October 10, 201411 yr If I had a way to do displays of some kind I would, but I don't right now. I'll help any other way I can though.
October 17, 201411 yr Author George Knutsen is in for some displays this time around also, awesome! If you all remember he and Sandy Smith produced a supply of displays for Operation Ward 57. Thank you George!
