Beautiful quilt, and I love your story. Thank you for your contribution to one of our veterans. My family is an Air Force family too, with my husband, son, son-in-law, and now grandson serving in the Air Force. It is quite a sacrifice to serve.

Lovely! I have made QOV but never really saw who got them. That is so special of you. My husband was a vet (Korean War) and my dad was as well (WWII). God bless them and you!

I love that story. My thanks to him and all other service men and women. I have a g/s in the navy and one in the air force. Great quilt and thanks for doing it.

So special that you made that especially for him! Our Vietnam Vets were shorted in so many ways, it's wonderful to see one of them singled out and personally thanked for his service. Well done!

What a very thoughtful way to honor this patriot. I think that makes you a patriot as well. Thank you for making this beautiful quilt for this man and thank your son for his service. My GS is in the Air Force also and he and his wife have been stationed in Alaska for about 4 1/2 years and have just been transferred to Kansas.
