Quilt of Valor
2 Attachment(s)
For my oldest brother. When I was born in 1945, I had 5 brothers in the service. Four in the Navy and one in the Army. I just cannot imagine what my dear Mother went through let alone being pregnant with her 12th child. This quilt is for my oldest brother, Rod..he's 92 and very active. I included pictures, one of Rod in his uniform, one of the 4 boys in their uniforms, one of three of the boys that I'm guessing they were in basic, and one of the U.S.S. Arkansas, the ship that Rod was on. I'm going to present it to him this next weekend when we have our family reunion. I'm so very excited but I know too, that it will be an emotional time. I also made a pillow for my sister(in-law) with pictures of her and Rod when they were a young couple.

Oh my, made me emotional to read the narrative. What a wonderful tribute and we owe those men so very much! I had a lady in my Sunday School class (her mom had 4 sons and one SIL serving during WWII) and she said one day her mother came running down the stairs pulling at her hair and she said, I am going to lose my mind (over worry). Amazingly, all came back and lived long lives. We can never repay them. Take lots of pictures and please share.
