Dear Friends,

I am the wounded warrior who received your care package after the hummer I was in was blown up by an IED. I was air medevaced without my equipment and in the ER they cut my clothes off. I had nothing at that time. As soon as I was in a bed at the hospital, someone came by and gave me the bag that you had so caringly packed. I was able to get cleaned up and feel human again. You cannot imagine how it made me feel to know that I was not alone in this. Yours was the first touch of kindness when I needed it the most. Please do not stop what you are doing. I thank you so very, very much. God bless you all!

Yours sincerely,
SFC Jeffrey Boyles

To Whom It May Concern:

I just wanted to email you and tell you how nice this quilt is. It was given to me at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan after I'd been medevac'd from Camp Phoenix outside of Kabul. It's obvious that you put a lot of time and care into making this blanket and I just want to say thank you. I will hang on to this thing forever and one day maybe I'll be able to pass it down to my kids. Thanks again!

Blessings,

My name is chaplain Daniel Middlebrooks and I am the new chaplain for the hospital in Baghdad. I wanted to write and express our deepest thanks for the incredible quilts made for our soldiers. We arrived here right at Christmas and these quilts were a wonderful surprise. The soldiers were amazed at the beauty and care. It is wonderful to have something fashioned with love to cover us in a place where love, often, is not. It truly is a blessing to be in a place to take care of our wounded troops. Thank you for taking care of us!

In His Grace
