It's all part of a giant insidious plot. (and they're the worst kind)

It's lovely and very well done especially for a person who never quilted before.

Just finished reading.
Grandpa never spoke much about his service.
When he did, he tried to make it funny.
And all his personal treasures from his service, I don't know where they went or where they are.
Wish I knew what his unit was, he honestly didn't speak much about it except as mentioned.

What I do remember was that his mom pressured someone to get him out of the military, and he was massively P.O'd about it.
