Thanks for the link! I appreciated being reminded of what our men are doing for us and the high price they pay to do it!

I do know that if an injured soldier does not survive his injuries, his family is given the quilt that was use to keep him/her warm on that long flight home.

Ah bearlea, no one can take away any of your pain but please know that I am holding you tight in my heart and wrapping you in my love. We can never adequately thank you for the terrible and ultimate sacrifice that your family has made for each one of us.

Does anyone have the address for which to send quilts or home made items for the men in service who've been injured? I have no place locally to contact, much less donate to - so if anyone has an address - it would be so helpful. Thanks!

PM me if you care to...

So sorry for your loss, bearlea. Your Son is a Hero in our hearts.

Thank you for the link to the photos in the Washington Post. I sew for Operation Quiet Comfort, making "litter qults" as well as larger quilts for our wounded. Please join us at the website.

My son is heading to Afghanistan with his combat engineer group in a couple of weeks to perform route clearance operations. That means roadside bomb detection, etc, first in, clearing the way. The only thing I can do is to send a quilt and pillowcases that will hopefully bring warm hugs from home, until he can return to us by Christmas of 2011.

Ah but we know how you feel, those of us who have had children in harms way at any time. My son was in Desert Storm. All we can do is love them and make sure they know, every day, how much. Your quilt will tell him that each time he sees it or wraps it around himself. Thanks to your family also for what you are doing for me and my family.
