I posted this on CS, but since I know some of you aren't over there I thought I'd post here too!

My sister works on Langley Air Force base in Hampton, VA and 3 of their families lost everything this past weekend in a fire. One of the men never wanted to tell his kids when he got deployed that "daddy has to go fight in a war" so he always told them "daddy has to go make a quilt". He collected patches from all around the world, all branches of the service, many different nations and from lots from the police and made a quilt. He lost the quilt in the fire. Several of his buddies are attempting to remake a quilt for him and are looking for patches from lots of different places. If anyone who is in the military or has family in the military or is in law enforcement has any patches that they would be willing to donate they would be greatly appreciated! If you have any, let me know and I'll send you the address to send them to. Thanks in advance!

Hey a have several friends in the military and I posted this on facebook and they want to know if there are specific patches or just any patches in general. Also where should they be sent to?
Sorry to hear about the fires. Hopefully this will bring some comfort.

Tiffany, thank you so much! Patches from anywhere. You can send them to me and I'll get them to my sister who will give them to the guys remaking the quilt. I'll PM you my address. Thanks again so so much!!
