as a current soldier (yes,,still here,, :-( ) of the WTU program, I want to thank you for your time and work you put into it. It is hard to come "home", but not be able to go "HOME". So I thank you from the bottom of my misty heart now. I teared up when I read your post. I am so thankful and grateful for what you, ( and many ladies) have done to bring a gift like that to soldiers. A young man was presented one last week,,, (he had lost both legs in DEC while in Iraq) and to see a man his size (yes, even without his legs to stand on,, he is a massive man!!LOL.. I told him that and he smiled and said,,its not my legs that make me big,,its my heart,,AWWWWW) cry. The quilt came to him at our SFAC (soldiers and family center) and he was called over,, I happened to be there, by accident. And some of his buddies were there, (they knew what was going to happen) and when they gave it to him,, he said if I could stand and applaud all the ladies that did this I would,, we all laughed,, but he made a speech and it was recorded for them to send ot the lady or ladies that made it., So,, from a long story,, thank you,,,
