I am a mother,grandma, friend and quilter. One of my sons has been in the service for almost 20 years. He recently told me about opgratitude.com. This is the web site that Gary Sinise is involved with. Bless him. My son has been in Iraq a few times and has told me the importance of the knitting, crochet, and now quilted scarves so desperately needed by the service men and women. Cool ties are desperately needed and for those of us in quilt clubs and have stash it would very possibly save a life. I hope anyone reading this will take a look. Directions are there, very easy to do. They also need letters. My son said when they receive letters that it is one of the best things that can happen and alot of service people frame them and yes you will get a letter back. I guess the idea is LET US NOT FORGET WHO WALKS THE LINE FOR US EVERYDAY!!
