This post warms my heart!!!
A guest blog post by Scarves for Troops coordinator, Elaine Campbell:
“…When the Treasure becomes a Memory, the Memory becomes a Treasure…”
It is with warm memories and a heavy heart that I tell you Joan Mazzarelli has passed away. Joan was a true patriot. During WWII she knit sweaters and socks for the troops. Joan said, “I did it for the boys in WWII and I’m doing it for the boys and girls in Afghanistan and Iraq now.”
Her love and support for our military was unsurpassed. An American flag was flown over an Afghanistan base in her honor. As L.A. Daily News columnist Dennis McCarthy phrased it, “She’s part of the fabric of the U.S. war effort.” Joan warmed many a heart and put smiles on thousands of faces. She was a light in the world and will be greatly missed.

My husband and son are both in the military and this type of thing means so much!
I love this organization. Hopefully this year I will be able to send out some items. Last year was too crazy.
