Well on this trip I think we have experienced all 4 seasons! Sunshine and flowers, apple blossoms, brown grass, bare trees and don’t forget the snow!!! Who would have thought May could be quite so diverse. Thanks Randy for keeping us safe, all 2675 miles! We couldn’t have asked for a better driver.
On the trip home we met several different people that spotted the bus and stopped to talk. It is so fun to watch their expressions as they look at the bus and hear all about the quilts and the soldiers. Families with military members tell us how much it means to them that people are doing something so nice for the soldiers. Veterans are touched by the gesture and usually leave a little misty eyed.
We have our first work days next week, we look forward to sharing our stories with the ladies that weren’t able to make the trip. We are all anxious to start working on a new quilt.
THANK YOU for helping to make this mission possible!!! We are honored to represent Otter Tail county, Minnesota! -and we can't forget the North Dakota girls and their friends!!
I was on the bus trip with all of thesewondful ladies! Thank you all for making me feel so welcome! I hope to see you on the next bus trip if not sooner.

QOV,
ReplyDeleteThe thought, caring, compassion and generosity of your time and effort is incredible. Nothing gives a Soldier more comfort while he is deployed than to know there are people out there who care so much. Thank you for caring. There are so many of us who appreciate you and your demonstration of kindness.

What you do for these service members is very honorable. Americans have a short memory and I feel that most do not realize that men and women are still in the fight around the world. These service members execute US policy around the world and often times at a cost to them mentally or physically. Thank you for remembering, and caring.
