Just hung this up in my new place, and thought I’d share with all of you. Feel free to add any captions in the comments page.
In case you’re wondering, this was purchased online from Dave’s Quilts. I highly recommend their work.

Billie,
A soldier may go over to Kuwait and be moved to Iraq or Afghanistan. Convoys may go thru to Afghanistan or people stationed in kuwait may do missions in other parts of the area. I had two fellow soldiers who went on a mission and their chopper was shot down. They died. I had another soldier friend of mine get blown up on a convoy going from kuwait to iraq by a roadside bomb. The problem with your thinking is that a person can only die from combat related occurrences. That is not just the case. A soldier may also die from heat stroke, bites from poisonous creatures, rollover accidents isolated combat activities not covered by media, or they may have been deployed previously or have not acclimated to the conditions or stress from home and kill themselves. Another thing that may happen is a death in the family while the soldier is in the field and they might not get the red cross message. A divorce or cheating, injuries sustained by what they are doing. Or another soldier losing it and harming the first person they see. I mean when was the last time FT Hood had a combat happen. A deployment is hard on everyone. This is my first. Because my father is a civilian and you may possibly be a civilian that the only thing you hear is from the media. Also when a unit deploys they may be moved at the last minute. I am his only child. I am the only family he really has. That is so rude of you to assume that the nice thing my father did for me is him being a drama queen. My father wanted to show me how proud of me he was because we live 3000 miles from each other and sometimes the phone just dosent cut it. I don’t put on a uniform for face value, I put it on to serve my country, to make sure my niece has a better future, to make sure that my people don’t suffer.
Thank you dad. Thank you for being my rock, for taking the time to show everyone how proud you are.
Thank you for everything.
