Patriotic Diagonal Nine Patch

Patriotic Diagonal Nine Patch - This quilt had to be made using Citizen Support for Americas Military (Citizen SAM) specifications for gurney or stretcher quilts. These quilts are sent to military installations overseas and given to critically injured American soldiers either being transported to overseas military hospitals or being transported back to the states via troup carrier planes. These planes used to transport the troops have little airconditioning and the warmth from these quilts not only provides comfort to the injured but also gives them something more cheerful than the dull military blanket. Anyone can go to the Citizen SAM web page and look at the various projects all designed to given comfort or a bit of cheer to the men and women so graciously indangering their lives to protect our countries freedom. I urge you to take a look at the web page at www.citizensam.org and be sure to look at the feedback sent to them by the doctors and nurses who work in these military hospitals.
