'Heroes All' Chart
'Heroes All' is a counted cross stitch design adapted with permission from an editorial cartoon by Barry Shelton to honor the brave crew of the Columbia space shuttle, Mission STS-107. Let us be proud of the exceptional crew members of Columbia, and in awe of their accomplishments. Let us be in deep sympathy with their families and loved ones. Let us be inspired by their gallant examples. It is a privilege for us at The Posy Collection to share this design with you.
Barry Shelton is a syndicated editorial columnist with CNS News. Special thanks to him for his moving editorial contribution.
