A Letter and Pictures I Received from Sandra Krantz, Sioux City, Iowa:

........I have four sons, each of them spent time in the military.  The oldest was a submariner, six years in the Navy, he is out (thank you God).  The second is a Marine, currently stationed in Okinawa, the third is National Guard, currently active heading for Kosovo after Christmas, and the fourth is in training with the Air Force at Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi........

.......Anyway, I have snowmen dressed as each branch of the service which I have made into the 9 inch block, and then the light blue background fabric I have changed for each of them.... 

.......I finished the binding as they left (after Christmas) so they were done.  They liked the tags I put on the back signing the quilt.......
