I can't help but wonder if there are some returning vets who would prefer NOT to be reminded of their time over there, and would appreciate something entirely different.
What have you made for a returning vet that is of a non-patriotic theme? And can anyone recommend a quilt-donation-coordinating organization that doesn't require a particular theme?
It seems that some of them do not like to sit on or put their feet on "patriotic red white and blue". Combinations of browns, tans, nature fabrics all are liked very well.
