Hats for Soldiers

As the proud mother of a daughter serving in the US Army, the story of this knitting project really touched me.  Regardless of your views on our current conflicts, our men and women who put their lives on the line each and every day to support the freedoms we enjoy are to be commended.  They deserve our respect and our gratitude.  Here's a wonderful way to support them.

KnittingforCharity.org offers some great tips on buying yarn on e-bay.
