Georgia shows quilt honoring fallen soldiers

The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ga. – A quilt honoring American soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan is on display at the National Infantry Museum in Columbus.

Artist Julie Feingold created the quilt, which has 50 squares, each depicting a soldier from a different state. She worked with the group American Gold Star Mothers to reach families, who provided photos of the soldiers shown on the quilt.

The Lost Heroes Art Quilt was dedicated on Sept. 25 in Washington, D.C., and has been making its way around the country since then.

It will remain in Columbus through today, and then move on to Atlanta, where it will be on display at the state Capitol.
