I'm sitting here next to my son who is home on leave, and shared that article with him. He told me that last month he got a "care package" from a 4th grade class in New Jersey - candy, brownies, Starbucks, etc. - he thinks the quilts are a great idea, too. I made him one - Eleanor Burns' Victory Quilt - and put the airplane block right in the middle, since he's in the Air Force. We do what we can, don't we?!
