Great quilt and sorry to hear about your father. At least he was able to enjoy your beautiful quilt.

We can never do enough for the Veterns. My dad was USAF(Retired). He passed away 4 years ago. Miss him everyday.

What a gorgeous quilt and beautiful tribute to a solider who served our country so bravely. Thank you for sharing that with us.

I am so sorry for your loss. When you can finish it as a memorial to him. Thank you for your Son's service to our great country. Our oldest Grandson will be returning to Iraq next month.

My SIL is a former Marine who served in the Gulf War. And a former fiance was a Marine in VietNam. He was badly wounded 2 weeks before he rotated out. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. They (and their families) will certainly be remembered for their sacrifices for others.
