Definitely would depend on the veteran. ASK, ask, ASK, ask. We grandson came home from Afghanistan, some of his things had been in a storage container aboard a ship, I volunteered to wash everything, with baking soda. Holy Cow they stunk!! One t-shirt was so worn/torn/mutilated, I threw it away. Yep, that was the one that had special significance to him.

There is a pattern to make a quilt with the words: Home of the free because of the brave. In one corner of the quilt is a large silhouette of a soldier. That silhouette is made out of fatigues fabric. Someone made the silhouette using an actual picture of a soldier waving on his way to the train, and it is made out of his uniform.

Thank you for your responses. I have been asked to make a quilt as a thank you gift for a veteran. Along with the request I was given some uniforms, insignias, etc. I wanted to make sure I was not doing anything that would dishonor his service. Again, thank you for your help.
