Your son will love the quilt. God bless him. My son is in the Air Force and just left for his last tour of duty before he retires out. This time he is in Africa. When he retires he hopes to move to FL and will be fairly close to us for the first time in 20 years. I can't wait! He is married and they have 6 children so it will be wonderful to have them closer by us. I will keep your son in my prayers along with all the service men and women.
