She said she remembers mother (George's mother) going to many friends and 442nd families in their camp, asking them to add a stitch to the fabric so she could make the vest for Geo. before he left for Europe. They were in the camp in CO when she was working on the vest. I hadn't heard that story before; thought you might find it interesting. I remember being asked by mothers in camps I was in, to add a stitch and I was just a kid and didn't really know the significance of it. Carol”
