Oh what a hard time that was for you, Cam's gram. Many prayers and thank yous for your family.

What an amazing tribute to your brave grandson. Four of my brothers served during Korea, my DH served in Viet Nam, one brother in the National Guard, and a great niece and her husband served in Afghanistan, she was a munitions expert and he was a medic. They are both safely home now, thank God. That is an amazing quilt.

Awesome quilt. I'm sure your grandson will treasure this. One of the quilters in our RV Park made a quilt honoring Vietnam Veterans that were in her husbands company. She included pictures of the veterans as they in Vietnam in there war clothes, in fox holes etc. Included were embroidered names of the deceased. This quilt will be raffled off at their next convention.
