Caps for Soldiers started in December 2008 with one cap/helmet liner sent to our grandson in Korea. These helmet liners are made from 100% wool that will help our soldiers stay warm on cold days and cooler on hot days. A personal note of thanks and love is attached inside every cap.

More knitters are needed.
