Made me think of all of you quilters who do this work for our guys and gals in the military. The photos on Washington Post don't stay very long, but I will provide the link here just in case you are able to catch the article.

God bless you quilters who send reminders of love to our military personnel. God bless our troops!
Thank you for posting the link. I have sent it on to all my quilter friends, especially those that do alot of charity quilts and quilts for soldiers. It's good to know they are being used for such a great cause. It warms my heart to know we can do something to give them comfort when they need it most.
