What are Kissing Pillows?

I keep mentioning Kissing Pillows, I guess I should explain what they are!

Kissing Pillows are small embroidered pillows following a specific pattern by Geraldine Trappey of the Yellow Rose Chapter of the EGA. They are given to soldiers who are being deployed and their family members. The soldiers kiss the pillow and give it to their children, or vice-versa. As my chapter's website says so well "This project is to benefit children whose parents cannot be with them. It is designed to give comfort and solace to children who have no choice in their parent's employment. It neither supports nor decries the current situational operations of the armed forces, but rather supports the people most impacted by those operations." (source)

A good news article on Kissing Pillows with a better description than mine -
