    My boyfrends son is a Marine and I made him this as my "Thank you & Welcome Home". Mailed it to him today. He has done 1 tour in Iraq and 2 in Afganistan. We are very blessed he has come home from there!

    Great quilt! I made Christmas stockings one yr when my nephew-in-law was in Iraq. Sent them to his entire squad I guess it was, and used the Army fabric as a stripe in the stockings and camo for the back. My brother was a Marine so I gave him one with the Marine fabric. Semper Fi! (hope I spelled Fi right).

    The quilt is awesome. A fitting tribute for someone who has placed their life on the line for us.

    The quilt is wonderful. He will pleased to have it. Tell him thank you from another UCMC parent/grandparent. In July, my UMCS granddaughter is marrying a Marine who is currently in Afghanistan. I haven't met him, but am praying for his safe return.
