Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What a great story , I cry when I read it. I have a grand son on his way to that dark mean hole on the map Afghanistan. Where we are not wanted, please remember all the brave that are sent there in your prayers, for their safety and return home soon.
Freedom is costly and quilting keeps us busy...
Thank you for sharing this link! I was so very happy that my daughter came back from Afghanistan without receiving a Quilt of ValorOf course, my bee group in Florida made a quilt for her and each of the guys who were deployed with her - with the help of quilters on Quilting Board and Stashbusters! All of them were surprised and so very pleased with their quilt. Makes me want to dig out my RW&B material and make some more!!

Thanks for sharing the link. I guess you don't need to ask me why I have made 265 Quilts of Valor. I have been making them for over 6 years. I pray over each quilt before it leaves my hands. Like Josh, I pray the recipients a speedy recovery.
Recently, several of my quilts have gone to VA Hospitals state side. From the thank you notes from the medical staffs, it appears the beds in this one wing are made up with the QOV as the spread and then the quilt is given to the family. Reading between the lines indicates the soldier is there to die. Just hope the quilt comforts the family as well.
Thank you for sharing and thanks to all the men that serve to keep us safe......God bless them and their families
Age is mind over matter.......if you don't mind ........it doesn't matter! 😂

Long arm quilting in Carmel, Indiana http://quiltcycle.blogspot.com/
Did everyone see the segment on the NBC Nightly News about the soldier who saluted when he received his people heart and everyone thought he was unconscious? Well, turns out the people heart was pinned to a Quilt of Valor! So they did news story about the quild that made it. I say GOOD JOB to them and every quilter who has ever made one of the over 10,000 quilts that have been given to our soldiers and veterans of all wars. As a retired Air Force wife I salute all of you! Now....back to your machines ladies and gentlemen, there are more veterans out there.
I saw it and thought what an uplifting story. As a quilter it wad nice to see that some people appreciate them and I also salute them for their effort. It was nice to see a feel good story on the news for once.
