Warming hearts

I don't much care for crocheting blankets in warm weather, but my nephew and his wife are going to have a baby in October, so I don't have too much choice.
This labor of love put me in mind of a project that Kathy had us work on last year which was making lap robes for wounded soldiers.The website is http://soldiersangels.org/index.php?page=blankets-of-gratitude. It tells what they are hoping to get, the sizes, etc. to let the soldiers know their sacrifices have been appreciated. Soldiers' Angels also looks for Blankets of Hope, which might even be taken to the front lines and used to cover a newly-wounded soldier on his transport flight to a hospital. There are suggestions for knitting, crocheting, and sewing blankets. There's even a no-sew option using fleece.
If you have a serving heart, this is something to consider.
