The building is new since we were there last and is set up to be very convenient for all of the different programs that are available for the soldiers. The quilts were unloaded and displayed so each soldier could look threw them and pick out there own quilt. I will put in lots of pictures so enjoy!!!
The soldiers were impressed with all the quilts. Some commented that they hadn’t had a quilt since there grandma made one. They wanted to know how long it took to make a quilt and what they had to do to get one. They were told they had already done so much more than needed.
Lots more pictures!
And more-
As the soldiers read the labels they often asked who the people were and were pleased if they could meet one of the people that made their quilt. A soldier with 30 years in the service made the comment that he had never had anything this nice happen for the soldiers before. As you can tell from the pictures there might have been a few laughs shared and lots of “Thanks” were passed back and forth. Enjoy a few more pictures -
I will post more tomorrow. I hope you have enjoyed sharing in our day through the pictures. It has been an honor to represent the quilters that couldn’t make the trip and the people that have helped us threw helping to supply the materials for the quilts. These men and women are some of the best we have – let’s remember them and what they have sacrificed for us!!!
Your pictures were terrific. Brought tears to my eyes. Wish I could have gone on the trip. Perhaps next time.

I think it's so neat how the soldiers want to meet the women who made their quilt. Shows that they truly appreciate what you ladies are doing for them! Enjoy the rest of your trip- sounds like it has been great so far!
