If you are sending a quilt to a QOV person outside of your state, it is probably a scam. Each state has a rep and the quilts should be going to that rep. Make sure you contact people before sending anything anywhere and never mark a box "quilt" on the outside or on the customs label![/quote]
NOT TRUE really.
Quilts of Valor, QOV, is for all servicemembers who "have been touched by war"
When you submit a finished quilt and request a 'destination' it is often an 'out of state' destination. They go where the need is greatest and on the destination request form there is even a place where you can request where the quilt goes and to which branch of service the person served with.
Yes there are state coordinators but the website www.qovf.org is the national site. Not every state has a state rep so you can use the national site instead.
