The kindness of strangers helped returne a quilt to its rightful place.
(CNN)An Easter tornado took an irreplaceable military quilt when it destroyed Beulah Lockmiller's home, but through the kindness of strangers, it was returned to its rightful place.
Larry Lockmiller, Beulah's husband, served in the Army National Guard for almost 30 years and was deployed during the Gulf War.
The quilt was a piece of that history for his family. It consists of his patches, places he traveled in the military, and pictures all arranged around a poem he wrote in Saudi Arabia during his deployment, his granddaughter Loren Lockmiller told CNN.
