Operation Pillowcase | ||
"Operation Pillowcase" was created out of love and support for my son, Paul. Paul had joined the U.S. Air Force. When Paul deployed to Iraq in November 2006, I was overtaken by fear. I needed something to keep my mind busy and occupied, so I asked my mother, Betty Renck, to help me sew 9 pillowcases out of patriotic fabrics for my son and his 8 buddies. We put them in their special Christmas care packages I was sending them in Iraq. |

||
This project, which started as a dream, became a reality due the dedication of my mother and father (Betty and Paul Renck) and all the wonderful ladies and volunteers of Riverside County. Not only did "Operation Pillowcase" bring a piece of home to our deployed men and women serving in Iraq, but it touched the lives of all who were involved. |
