Fanned & bidding. I quilt & my husband of less than 2 years (still newlyweds :) ) is a Navy DT vet. I would love to make him a quilt & use these patches on it. Every Navy gift I buy him esp ones of his actual ship he loves & appreciates. His ex wife never allowed him to display his Naval pride. I think that's awful! That's like denying one of part of oneself. And he did so well in the Navy. Even earning a Navy Achievement Medal. I'm so proud of him & this type of gift (Navy/Nautical quilt) would be even more personal to him. :)
And there's more to our love story. :) We were good friends in High School & he went off & joined the Navy after Graduation. We were in the same class. We were reunited after 30 years! :)
I wish I could just bid for the 'steering wheel' lol. I would ask but her story is just too cute. too bad. If the winner reads this and is willing to part with the helm in exchange for postage PLEASE message me : )
