[GailA]

Evening, just got in from my American Legion Ladies Aux craft meeting. We are providing 60 lap quilts to the spinal cord unit at the VA hospital in Memphis this year. We finished up putting on the labels and getting the thank you cards that go with them ready to hand out next week. We even had 4 extra to go to a nursing home were 4 elderly veterans reside. :-)

Hi ya Gail

The is a great testimony of the Heart.

It may seem small in scale..but it is profound for healing and self esteem.
Knowing you are Loved and cared for is powerfull..and it spreads in a good way to others.

When I was 20..had cut my hand badly, rquireing surgey.
Shortage of beds..they plopped me in the Burn wing...my room was 3 fellas who had been there nearly a year.
2 had lots of flowers and gizmo's ..the other guy..a few cards...one set of flowers.

Oh..I felt so sorry for them..their entire bodies where in bandages...
and I felt for the one guy..who did not have color surrounding his bed..nor the attention from visiters.

Thanks for Blessing these Veterans..it really matters.
