Just got word that the 27 quilts we sent to Germany arrived. This is a Military Police company and they are in Afghanistan and have been there since April 2011. This deployment has been very tough. There have been several deaths and even more injuries which means some of these soldiers have watched their friends die or be taken out of the country for medical treatment. These soldiers do not get the "welcome home" they deserve. For some of the soldiers this will have been their first deployment and for others 2nd, 3rd, even 4th. I'm expecting pictures.
