My Husband's grand-father served in WWI. My father served in WWII. My husband's uncle was killed in Vietnam. My husband served during Vietnam. My oldest son is serving now and getting ready to deploy for his fourth hardship tour, this time going to Afganistan. Our youngest son dives for the Navy. Our nephew (husband's side) is getting ready to deploy for the first time. And our nephew-in-law (my side) just got back from Afganistan.
I would be proud to hang your quilt.
