Barb,
We will also send a quilt to the family of a local slain soldier, especially if there is a child left behind. We want to impact any who served; I consider families who have sent their soldiers off to war, and who handle so many issues alone without his/her physical presence, have also served. I'm getting more and more excited about this new project direction. I'm really hopeful there will be more positive responses here, even ONE person can start the ball rolling! Just read your local news and reach out to the reporter for contact information.
Come on folks!
