Thank you for saying what I have been thinking all morning. The misunderstanding certainly needed a thorough explanation such as yours. A little understanding goes a long way.
My brother was wounded while serving in Saudi Arabia. He went on to serve in Baghdad and Germany. He continues to serve stateside as a civilian. I shudder to think that what all these men and women of our armed forces have done for us, to be given a QOV and then have the quilt not last the rest of their lives. There is meaning behind those quilts. Their memories will last a lifetime, the quilts are a means of comfort and should help get them through it all. May God Bless all the wonderful people for their time and talents to a worthy cause.
