Just goes to show us, that there are still wonderful, caring people in the world who serves our country with their heart and soul at so many levels.
I made my dh a Marine quilt 2 yrs ago and he loved it. Need to make our son one also, he also was stationed at Fort Hood when he served..gee I got lots of sewing to do!
Thank you all for the kind comments. He is a very dear soul that I didn't even know about 14 months ago. As my mother used to say, "he doesn't have many of this world's goods," which was her way of saying "as poor as a church mouse." Any consolation that he can receive at this stage of his life, he has well deserved. For those of you who have made QOV for so many years, bless your efforts.
