Your work will be sew appreciated! I spoke to the person who coordinates our local guild’s Quilts of Valor program a couple days ago. She said that the men who received the quilts were overwhelmed with emotion, unable to adequately express their gratitude. It’s so very important to recognize the sacrifice of these heros and their families, especially since it does not end when they return home with incredible emotional baggage, families who need to be reacquainted with a changed person and difficulties finding employment. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
