A truly fitting, an awesome, quilt for a young man that has more than done his part on our behalf.

This is a wonderful quilt! It has a masculine, but beautiful look to it. Tell him welcome home and thanks from all the board members.

Really nice. I have had so many Marines in my family and I think Semper Fi is the right spelling. Thank God we have so many men to do this tours of duty over & over. Hopefuly they will all come home.

What a great quilt. I'm glad your Marine is home safely. I'm a Marine Mom and pray for the safety of our soldiers every day. I'm currently quilting a quilt for my son and will post it as soon as the binding is on. Thanks for sharing.
