Very touching.

Our guild honors local veterans from a 3 county area the Saturday before Memorial Day. We have a presentation on the Town Square and the veterans are asked to stand up when their name is called. We have given away close to 300
in about a 4 or 5 year period. We try to get to the WWII veterans first simply because they are the oldest. There are so many out there and we have a limited budget, but we do the best we can. To offset the cost, we make and sell chances on a raffle quilt each year.
