As well as being a Gorlok, the recipient was a military wife of a career Marine. These two Americans met in the most romantic way. He was posted to the US Embassy in Paris and she was a student at Le Cordon Bleu! The BDU block (bottom row, center) was the husband's uniform shirt. The pockets weren't quilted down so they are still usable.
In their free time, they raised and showed Briards, an ancient breed of herding dog originating in France. They both love all canines so much that they eventually opened a day care for dogs in their home.
The main responsibility of her position was to deal with our Post 9/11 beneficiaries. I saved this shirt from a 2010 VA Conference for this quilt I knew I would have to do some day.
The back used a Marine-themed polar fleece and a coordinating national colors flannel.
