Just came across a heartwarming story on CNN about a woman who makes quilts for injured soldiers to show her appreciation for their service. One quilt made by Christina Powell found its way to injured soldier Jonathan Winker.
On the back edge of Winker's quilt is a patch sewn in by Powell that reads: "Thank you for your service to our country. This is a small token of appreciation for all that you have been through. My prayers for you are contained in this quilt."

And next time our paths cross with an American soldier, or an IDF soldier, or a soldier protecting the country in which you live, why not offer him/her a smile and a sincere thanks?
