I love this idea and wonder whether you know if other airports in NY do this also? I'm in the Syracuse area and would love to contribute to a similar program at our airport if it's available.
I don't belong to a guild or anything, but would donate quilts as I am able to make them.

I never knew the Albany airport had a "military room". My dh is retired Air Force.

Great quilt and cause. Vets deserve so much from us. I am a vet but was never in a war. God Bless you.

The military room at the Albany Airport is called "John's Room". John McKenna was killed in Iraq in 2006. John grew up in Brooklyn, NY - he went to the same school as my kids. His mom & I were on the PTA together. He was a NYS police trooper. What a great way to remember John.
