Soldier's Guardian Pocket Angel Pattern

I am part of the Letter Writing Team (LTW) with Soldier's Angels. Since beginning this journey I've wanted to include something meaningful in the letters but needed to come up with something that was also small and easy to include in the envelopes. After some brainstorming I came up with the following; a compilation of the idea behind a prayer shawl and the idea behind the popular guardian angel pins.

I found an angel pattern online (I can't remember where now or I'd link back to it) and after some modifications I came up with this crochet pattern for a small 'guardian angel' -- one that can be easily tucked away in a pocket, hat, or boot, etc. As I make each angel, I pray for the soldier that will be receiving that particular one. As you can see below, I attach it to a "Thank You" card.

Here is the card with the angel attached:
