My father has sure had some special days lately. He recently received a Quilt of Valor!
I had heard about the Quilts of Valor project in the past, but I thought the quilts were only presented to returning Service Members and Honor Flight Veterans. But after researching more, I see that this is a massive effort on the part of thousands of quilting volunteers across the country. Over 200,000 quilts have been awarded in all 50 states. These quilts are Awarded to a Veteran who has been touched by war in any way. My father was nominated to the local QOV chapter, Comstock Lode Quilters, in Carson City for his service in WWII.
So happy for Jack! What a neat honor. Tell Jack Hello from the Moores. He’s a special guy!
Thanks, C & J, It was a cool event to see. He was so surprised and honored. He says Hi back at Ya and hopes you will stop again one day if you are finding yourselves along Hwy395 🙂
OUTSTANDING!
Thanks Bill, it was pretty cool.
Very Cool! Tell Jack Hi and Congratulations!
Thanks Mark! I gave him the message and of course he wanted to know when you were stopping by again 🙂
