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
