This particular post is just an update of where we are in the process.
The Marine Corps Memorial Boxes have been crafted and shipped to a Marine Corps family within the general region of each of the fallen Marines' hometowns. This is what they look like.
The inscribed Bibles and letter boxes arrived to my house this week. I will hold on to them until the Gold Star quilts are completed. At that point I'll mail them off to the families who are holding the Memorial Boxes until delivery to the Marines' families. Each of the letter boxes has slightly different coloring but all have the same Marine Corps emblem on the front and a Devil Dog on the back. The Bibles are inscribed with each Marines rank and name. Here are a few pictures of those.
The quilts are still being stitched and should be completed within the next four to six weeks. Once received the families that have volunteered to meet with the families will coordinate a time to share these gifts and their love (and yours).
Thank you to all who helped make this come to fruition, whether through prayers, sharing the fundraising link, donating your time/efforts, and/or monetary donation, you all made this happen.
