Ah but we know how you feel, those of us who have had children in harms way at any time. My son was in Desert Storm. All we can do is love them and make sure they know, every day, how much. Your quilt will tell him that each time he sees it or wraps it around himself. Thanks to your family also for what you are doing for me and my family.
