&lt;p&gt;who wrote: &amp;quot;If I win the Let Freedom Ring kit, I will make it in honor of: all 
service men and women as well as their families, past and present. &amp;nbsp;I 
come from a family that takes to heart patriotism, honor, country and 
God. &amp;nbsp;My ancestors have fought in the Revolutionary War and participated
 in the Boston Tea Party. &amp;nbsp;My grandfather was is in the Navy during 
WWII. &amp;nbsp;My father was in the army and fought in Korea. &amp;nbsp;My husband is a 
submariner in the Navy and is still serving. &amp;nbsp;My son is a Marine 
helicopter pilot and is currently serving. &amp;nbsp;My family is only a few who 
have helped shape this great nation of ours, who have protected our way 
of life, and who have bravely stepped in to help those in people or 
countries in need. &amp;nbsp;This is the reason why I want to honor all military 
and their families (who sacrifice a lot), past and present. &amp;nbsp;I will be 
donating the quilt to either Quilts of Valor, The Wounded Warriors, 
Quilts4Military so that it finds a service member showing honor, love, 
and a heart-felt thanks.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What an honor to read through everyone&amp;#39;s posts and tributes to those near and far, past and present, serving our country. Thank you for participating.&lt;/p&gt;
