God bless you for sharing that site with us all.
Our daughter served in the Army as a Medic close to the DMZ for almost 2 years. I would occasionally send off care packages filled with home baked goodies, treasures from home and a few finished quilts. I was disappointed at first when she returned home without any of the quilts with her until she told us her thoughts on the quilts. She used them in her visits to hospitals, field sites and in the maneuvers via helicopters to keep those seeking medical assistance warm. Many of those she helped commented on the "touch of home" it brought them while she took care of their needs. She was coming home and knew there would be other quilts for her that I could and would make for her but the ones left behind were to help remind others of the many at home that were always thinking about them.
I am proud to say that our local guild gave a number of pillowcases and lap quilts to our local veteran's hospital - it's a small price to give to those that give so much more.
For all of you that have and will give to our veterans - this proud mother of a veteran thanks you.
