I love this Jan!!! How wonderful!! We made quilts for Soldiers Angels to distribute, but we won't see any pictures. I love seeing the smiles on their faces...they know they have people here who care about them. That's the best part.

They are really young looking. Glad to see they liked their quilts.

Are you going to send another shipment, or was this a one-time deal?

There will be other shipments as there are a total of 127 quilts to be sent to this one unit. Jan hopes to have them all sent by the end of January 2011. It's not too late to help!! Hugs and smilesssssss.

Jan,

You have done a wonderful thing. Not just for the soldiers, but you came forth as a leader to organize the effort and give many the opportunity to do something wonderful for the troops, which otherwise, may not have happened.

Many people want to give, they just don't know how or what and you solved that issue for the members here.

My hat is off to you!

All so happy except the one who needs some hugs from us! Can you send them? His eyes just seem blank. Thanks for sending the pictures! Jan
