I know my husband is one of them and being given even a quilt to lay over them reminds them of being in a coffin draped with a flag! Which causes MAJOR setback in recovery from this horrible disorder.
Moda should have a little tack and realize this or at least ask questions first.
Sorry for my interruption I am sure many of you will send blocks anways, just wanted to put the truth out there!

What a great idea!
Here's the link for the pattern: http://www.unitednotions.com/LA_just_one_star.pdf
Let's all try to do 1 block!

I just mailed off a red star and a blue star. Hope the rest of you take part. It is a very easy pattern and I am sure most of you have done it before.

Mine is done. Sent the info to our quilt group and we will be sending them in together.
From an "Army Brat" who was born in an Army hospital and followed my Dad all over the world I thank all of you who do things for the veterans. My Dad was in Korea and 2 tours in Nam. Unfortunately he didn't live long enough to see the patriotism that the USA is showing now. We can never say thank you enough to those who serve
