PLYMOUTH, Wis. (AP) -- The Camo Quilt Project in Plymouth is on a mission for a Kiel woman killed in the Fort Hood shootings.

Coordinator Linda Wieck tells WLUK-TV that Sgt. Amy Krueger asked for 45 camouflage quilts for her unit in September.

But Camo Quilt was already behind more than 200 requests for other soldiers. And making 45 blankets before the unit is deployed overseas in December would be impossible with only three of the usual volunteers.

But Wieck says when people heard about Krueger, hundreds of volunteers stepped up from as far away as Milwaukee and Madison. Krueger was among 13 killed in the Nov. 5 shooting.

Wieck says Krueger had already received a quilt from her and sent her a thank you note and requested the new batch.
