    The quilt is beautiful and so are you for making it for him! I checked out his FB page and lost it. What our military goes through for our freedom we could never repay. Our 21 year old grandson is in the Army and getting ready to leave next week for his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. We will be storming the heavens with prayer for him and his fellow soldiers. Last time his 2 best friends were killed.

    This will be wonderful for him. More of us should do things for our returning vets.

    I have done Quilts of Valor for years and this is wonderful for you to do. I've seen the reactions of soldiers to these quilts and they are so deeply touched, I couldnt't believe it. Most men say, "Nice" and it is over but not these dedicated soldiers. You will TRULY do something wonderful for him and his family will be forever grateful. It's a beautiful way to say that we care about them.

    Have you heard of Quilts of Valor? You could make this part of that organization and award it to him. Wonderful work!
