I am so proud of myself tonight :)
 

I made a quilt for Quilts of Valor for my BIL who was injured and blinded in Afghanistan. It was presented to him tonight and he loves it. My SIL has been telling him all about it. They put a tear in my eye when they called. It is so worth it to make these charity quilts.

Bless you and I bet it made him so happy.:thumbup:

Oh, Johnnalee...my heart goes out to your brother-in-law and his family. God bless you for bringing them some measure of comfort.

what a blessing you are to one of Americas heroes....please thank him from us for his service

What a wonderful thing to do. And yes, please do thank him for his service for us.

What a wonderful, caring thing to do. Thank you for making the quilt for him.

God bless him and his family!!! It will be a long, hard road, but with a loving, supportive family, he will be an inspiration to all.

Thank you feels like such an inadequate way to say to your brother-in-law how much his service to our country means. I'm saddened that he has to pay such a tremendous price to ensure our freedoms, but please let him know I appreciate him from the bottom of my heart and wish him well in the coming years.

Your quilt, I'm sure, brought a little ray of sunshine in his life. Bless you.

God bless your BIL. I hope one day all of us can live in peace. Mankind surely needs to learn this.

Bless you both. Please tell him thank you for his tremendous sacrifice .

Thank you for doing it.

What a wonderful quilt you presented to your BIL, he will think of you everytime he uses it.
Very thoughtful of you to do this for him.

you should have posted a pix... oh well so happy they loved it... and it was wonderful for you to do it.. i am sure it was beautiful (even though we dont get to see it..lol.. )

Please give him a long and heartfelt hug from the U.S. of A. These soldiers sacrifice so much... I cannot begin to comprehend what all they do.
My mother lost her first husband in WWll, I have watched my oldest sister and brother angst throughout their lifetime wondering/missing their dad.
So glad he and all others make it home!

My sincere gratitude and thanks go out to your BIL.

Johnnalee....There are no words to tell your brother in law what his service and sacrifice means to those of us who love this country and it's defenders of freedom. Please pass along to him the most heartfelt THANK YOU... tho it is not enough....it will never be enough. We will not forget !!!

Please thank your BIL for his service and God Bless you all.

What a special blessing you have given him!! Thank him for his service for me!

As the mom of 2 active duty military guys, I want to thank your precious BIL for his service. Thank you for making something comforting for him, as well. No one knows what kind of traumas these guys go through, and the news media wants to keep it secret. Praying that we will pull out of the middle east and just let them deal with their own issues.

As a mother of one military son(US NAVY), a former Air Force daughter and hubby and my self (former (US Navy) please tell your brother-in-law that we thank him for his service and we will never forget!

Thank your for honoring one of America's heroes. Please tell him that a grateful America says thanks. We can never repay our service men and women for the sacrifices they make to protect us and keep us free. God Bless your BIL and his family.

Bless you for your gift to him and please tell him thank you for his great sacrifice. With out men like him we would not be free.

We must never forget that freedom doesn't come free. There will always be a price for freedom. God Bless your BIL! Words will never adequately express the debt this nation (and all its people) owe to those who fight for our freedom all around the world.

Remember them in your prayers, always!

Plz tell your BIL a HUGE thank you for his service for all of us. We honestly cannot thank him enough for serving let alone what he has given up for us. God bless him and all of you.

That is such a wonderful thing to do. Glad he loves it and warms your heart, doesn't it?

Yes it is and thank you to your brother in law. This story chocked me up as well. Thanks for sharing...everything.

So sorry to hear about your BIL getting injured and blind in Afghanistan. So nice of you to make a quilt, it does lift their spirits. Prayers to the family.

I couldn't say it better than Jeanette did! Hugssss for your BIL, his family and extras for you for making him the comfort quilt. If you get a chance, we'd still love to see a photo of it.
