Knitting for Soldiers
A Charity Story by Michelle Edwards

An article about Civil War soldiers' socks started me thinking about knitting for soldiers. Something I have never done. Then an email from my friend, Anne, whose son Darren is serving in Iraq, nudged me even further. All weekend, she wrote me, they waited tensely to hear from him. Worrying the big worries until they finally did. "Would he like a hat?" I offered, embarrassed that I had overlooked knitting for him, and for others.
