 'SMILES ARE BROUGHT TO WOUNDED SOLDIERS'

I wanted to send you the picture of your Quilt of Valor that was made by the children.  We had presented it to a wounded Marine who enjoyed it immensely.  Thank you so much-it was a pleasure displaying it in our Quilt display cabinet for the month and the honor of presenting it. God Bless-please let the children know they touched a soldiers heart and made him feel loved and comforted.   Peace,  CDR K-B  8/6/08 ,  Landstuhl Medical Hospital
