DH's Christmas Present from his Sister

Post by WeeOne » Sun Jan 25, 2009 8:33 am

My SIL gave me permission to posts these photos. She really surprised her big brother (my DH) with this quilt. My DH wanted you all to see his very special gift. DH was in the Navy & did 2 tours in Vietnam. If you want to thank a Veteran, here's one way.

In the center is the Navy Seal. The blue & red squares have designs of The Statue of Liberty, Liberty Bell, an Eagle, President George Washington, a Sailing ship, President Lincoln, The Capitol, The White House, Washington & Lincoln Memorials, the Constitution, the Flag & the Golden Gate Bridge (USS Coral Sea sailed under the bridge, returning home). At the 4 corners, DH's name, USS Coral Sea, Vietnam Veteran & Thank You.
My SIL has a Gammill and does beautiful quilting. Between a full time job & quilting for others, I don't know where she found the time to make this fantastic gift.

That is a wonderful gift for your husband. And please tell your husband what a wonderful gift he gave to all of us that live in the United States, keeping us safe and free to live the lives we live. I am not sure what your husbands name is so I will just say GIANT THANK YOU for keeping us safe

A fitting tribute to him, and to the service he rendered for all of us.
