This website is dedicated to the ultimate sacrifice made by our service men and women in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world and for the grief and loss felt by their families and friends.  Presenting them with a prayer shawl in remembrance of their loved one is a small token of our compassion and appreciation.

Knitters/Crocheters :  Our main program is now with Dover Air Base, we also welcome direct requests from military families from all branches. 

1. Dover Program:   In October 2009, we began sending prayer shawls to the chaplains at Dover Air Base who, in turn, deliver them directly to visiting military Families.  For details, click on "Address Verification & Dover Program" below, and also enjoy reading our newsletters which act as a tribute to our military Families.  (click on "Monthly Newsletters" below).

2. Direct Requests:    If you are a military Family and would like to request a hand-made prayer shawl, please click "Prayer Shawl Request" below.  Include the rank, full name, date of death, your name/relationship, and your contact information (address/phone/email).  I will then arrange with one of our knitters/crocheters to contact you.  All information is confidential.  We often share some correspondence notes and photos with our military Families in our monthly newsletters (click on "Monthly Newsletters" below).

We invite you to read our newsletters filled with stories and photos of our military fallen.  Our military Families have been comforted by these newsletters, sharing stories, photos, cards/letters from you!  They are pleased to learn about large groups of Americans who continue to care about their loss.   PS4FS currently has 278 groups of knitters/crocheters and a few quilters; the majority are church-based, spread throughout our country. We have been in existance since October 2007, and in that short time have delivered more than 5,959 prayer shawls to our military families, hoping our work will give you comfort and return some small amount of joy to your lives. We never want to forget them, nor your sacrifice!

3. Maintenance Program:  If you know of a military Family in need of a prayer shawl, you are  welcome to contact them directly, then send me the information (military name, DOD, city/state).
