First of all-I thank your Dad for his service. If you could possibly contact a quilt shop near him and see if they have a group that makes quilts for veterans and inform them of your situation. I know there is a quilt shop in a nearby town here that accepts QOV. I totally understand you wanting to have some "recognition" for him and that would be so special to him. Maybe someone on this board will come thru for you that is closer to him. Also, if you made a quilt for him, that would be special too. Any pattern in RWB would be great. Good luck in your search and hope everything works out for you.
