WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - It's called "Turning for Our Troops," an annual pen-making tradition for our fighting men and women in uniform.

More than 40 crafty civilians spent the day in West Springfield handmaking wooden pens to be sent to soldiers stationed oversees.

The WoodCraft store on Memorial Avenue hosted the event. All the materials were donated.
