Like your quilt, thank your son for his service to our country, the quilt is great. My grand son took his jean quilt I'dd made for him several years ago. It's a piece of home they have along with warmth. I also shipped him wool caps,socks, gloves and blankets while he was in Afghanistan. His troop came home this week, not sure if he will have to go back or not, my heart and prayers go out to each of them on foreign soil, God bless be strong..
