    I included the music because it is an important part of the military. Everything from the simple bugles that were use for battle calls during civil war times, up to modern times. Music is used in military command events, there is a military band in every branch of the service, and then there is the taps that is played at every military honours funeral. So I just thought that music was just a very fitting piece to include.

    You did a fine job with this. It is a shame that so many of our best have been so badly injured and that we the people are doing so little for them. I am very happy to see this fine quilt.

    The quilt that you made for him is absolutely gorgeous. I am a "softie" for ANYTHING red/white/blue...patriotic. And what a beautiful gesture on your part to make and give this quilt to one of our disabled vets.
