These are some tote bags I made from the uniforms of two soldiers that were killed. When my friend Carolyn the mom of fallen soldier SPC Nick Steinbacher told me about a lady who makes these and that she was super busy I said I would make them for her. I also made some for another Gold Star Mom, Kat the Mom of another killed soldier Marine Cpl. Christopher Leon .

The bags made from soldiers uniforms are incredible.
I have made blankets for people made of clothing from loved ones who have died. I counted it a privilege to have done so.
Thank you for this special tribute. I am a military wife and I posted some thoughts and pics this Memorial Day. Thank you for your support and thanks to all the families who have sacrificed so much more than I can ever imagine!

Wonderful bags for those families. I'm sure those bags will be treasured for years to come.
What a practical and beautiful tribute.
This almost made me cry-- so thoughtful and sweet. I am a veteran, and a military wife-- those bags will be very treasured! Thank you for remembering what Memorial Day is really about-- our servicemen and service women.
Now my wheels are spinning on what I can do with my husband's and my old military uniforms-- thanks!
