In what we didn't know was the first of several terrorist attacks on the USA, the USS Cole was attacked by cowardly fanatics. The web site created by Pat Tribbey, as a tribute to the incredible, awesome effort started and completed by Sandy Guilbeaux, tells of the terrorist attack and Sandy's subsequent effort to make a quilt for each family of the USS Cole's victims.

Her effort spawned such an upswelling of patriotic support that was completely overwhelming in scope. My small part of this effort was to make a 17 blocks, one for each of the family quilts. I am very proud to have been a part of this effort.
