Yes, I made the regular size. He said you couldn't believe how much it brighten up their sleeping area. Most had them on their pillows, some pinned them to the walls. He said it was a real moral booster. Outside you can have no color so it was a real treat to have them inside. After their year in Iraq their whole unit flew back to Fort Lewis, WA. Bill said when he walked into the barracks everyone of them had their pillowcases on their beds for the week they were there also. Then they all flew back to Helena, MT. So proud of all our soldiers. So glad they are all back home safe and sound. Keep all the other soldiers in your prayers.

What did you make them out of-flannel, cotton? Do they need more? Where can I send some? One of my boys is in Haiti with the 82nd and another is going to Ft. Benning June 8.
