What a nice gift. Please pass on my thanks for their service. In 66-67 I read a Dear Abby column about signing up in I think it was Stars and Strips to be a pen pal. I had many to answer and most I did not hear back from but there was one soldier that we continued to exchange letters until he came home. Over the years I found ways to write letters to soldiers.

What a thoughtful gift.

What a clever way to use focus fabric!

Fabulous! My hubby was a Marine in Vietnam, too. They deserve the special recognition. Well done!

What a wobderful thing to do and they look great!

A wonderful thank you gift. They will be treasured.

Great job too.

Those are wonderful! Could you please tell me how to make one (or more) as my nephew and or his mom would most likely be thrilled to have one. Thanks tons!

Those are gorgeous! It's difficult to even imagine all the work and love that went into those. Lovely keepsakes. Thank you for creating something nice for these folks. That was a tough time with very few positives for the troops.

So nicely done. No wonder they were a hit. My Dad served in the USMC during WWII.
