Not that with the amount of quilts you are having to produce I think you should change anything you are doing, they are fantastic!
Kelly,

As a recipient of the NDSM, I can say with some confidence that it would not be taken as disrespectful at all. As a matter of fact, I think it's a brilliant idea. And yes, it is awarded to all MOS-Qualified members of all branches of the Armed Forces, and will be until we are no longer in a state of war.
