Promotional Pens For Veterans Day

There is an old saying that a person should have at least one collection in his lifetime. My granpa believed in this. His choice: pens for some reason. I knew all about this collection when I was rummaging through his stuff in the attic and found a quill safely kept inside a box. It was well kept. It had a little note beside it. Apparently, it was a gift from an old friend of his.

This discovery gave me an idea. Why not I give him something on Veterans Day? He would be surprised. Nobody ever gave anything to someone on that holiday. I plan to help him augment his collection by giving him logo promotional pens. I’m sure he already has some of it, but I don’t think he has one like what I will give him.

I told all about my plan to my parents. They really liked the idea. Then I convinced them to also give him logo promotional ballpoint pens on the same day.

On the 11^th of November, we asked (or forced) him to go with us and have dinner at a restaurant downtown. Right after lunch, we gave him our gifts. The look on his face said everything. He then told us some stories about his life as a soldier in Vietnam, and how he started his collection. It was a bit ironic, because his first ‘collection’ was a couple of logo promotional high tech pens.

That was a good one. Good plan, better execution. The day could not have gone any better.
