It makes me so happy to see these men recognized for their service. Up until the present time men were seldom given anything. Unpopular conflicts got our men and women spit on and called names for their service and many suffered horrible trauma. My own husband is a Viet Nam vet. with 33 years of service, yet for years he never mentioned it at all. When he recieved a QOV it was one of the greatest things he has ever had happen to him. He was so touched by that quilt that he has been unable to even properly thank those who sent it to him. All of our service personal need to have their country behind them. Giving a quilt helps them know we are behind them and aware of what they did and that we honor them for their service. I have made several quilts for the organization. It's a joy to make and give them. Every single service man and woman should recieve one.. Without our military the world would be a much worse place and our own freedom would quickly be taken from us. Honor every veteran you see, young or old... they all served for the same things we hold dear. God bless your Dad!! and tell him thank you from our family.
