I think this is a wonderful idea in remembrance of our KIA troops. It is for the loved ones left behind to know others do care and recognize the loss to all those left behind. Do you know if anything like this is also being done for the coalition troops who have given their lives in the fight against terrorism and freedom? I am seriously thinking of getting involved but I have not ever made a quilt block before. Could you maybe post a picture of one so all can see what to make it like? Keep up the great work all of you!

Webmaster Note: We are in the process of procuring pictures of some of the completed blocks to post. We'll get them up ASAP. Thanks for your interest.

This is a wonderful idea and the TV coverage this morning on channel 3 will bring in many quilters, I am sure. I made a block today and will be happy to make more. This is a worthwhile project. Laurie Idaho Falls Id

I think this is a wonderful Memorial. My sister's only son and only child was killed in Kuwait on March 5, 2004 when two terrorists in a car hit the deliberately vehicle he and three other Navy men were riding in at 100mph with their lights out. I just wanted to make sure you had his name. If you need any information, let me know please. Also, will there be a publicized schedule when the tour starts? ]I am trying to be hopeful] Again, thank you all for your kindness. Brenda S. Ramos.

Webmaster Note: Brenda, if you will email us at MemorialQuilt2004@yahoo.com with the name of your nephew, we will check our database to see if he is listed.

I just had a very moving experience. This has happened before. We lost a dear friend 4/2/03 near Karbala, Iraq. Specialist Mathew Boule. What are the chances that the very first sample of your quilt blocks I select is Mat's? He's truly with me in spirit. Wadda Guy!

I found you via a very small menton in a DAV magazine and I'm happy to have followed through on this followup. Right now I am dealing with the death of our son and guardianship of his children. Just as soon as we get James (13) settled in school, etc. I intend to participate in this wonderful project. My husband is a totally disabled Air Force veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars. Thank you for this opportunity.

My name is Bill Tomko I'm the uncle of Sgt. Nicholas A. Tomko who lost his life in Iraq 11-9-03. I am also the founder of the W.Pa. Families of Fallen Heroes Foundation. I would like to thank everyone that is involved in making of this quilt. It is very important to all families that the memory of their fallen loved one will never be forgotten. As we all know Freedom isn't Free so we all have to work together to keep memories of those soldiers who have given ALL for the freedom of the world. Again thank you in your efforts in keeping their memories alive.
