You deserved to be honored too. Those quilts are beautiful and the display in the church was gorgeous. I know the vets appreciated them. God bless you and all the vets of the USA.

Start Out with just a few pick out some Buddies of your Son make them all a QUilt of Valor. This is a gift that I know shows on their Face of the Joy & Honor to receive it. The quilts don't have to be elaborate pic a pattern ( or make up your own )that is simple. They will Cherish it , Just to be recognized in this way , the quilt of Love as many Soldiers call them. I have seen this Joy & Honor . They Stand so tall when their name is called to accept. |
Bless you for sharing your talents and creativity with those so worthy of recognition!
