Late to the Party

I’m always “late to the party” but better late than never! This year, the Quilts of Valor Foundation is in its tenth year. It’s growing stronger every day because of its mission: 

...to cover all combat service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor. 

Something in my head clicked a couple of months ago and it’s been such an eye opener for me. It’s something I must help with, especially after reading the various comments left by Wounded Warriors and Veterans, or their family member.

From the eyes of a daughter, it was indeed A Day to Remember.

And, from another daughter, it is wonderful to hear how QOV’s Have An Impact.

Another comment I saw, after receiving his QOV, a Veteran stated:

“The love placed in the Quilt when pieced and quilted is felt.”

I watched Dorsey Winfree's interview. He could have been someone I went to high school with, or my cousin...

Oh, how I wish I could have been there, back in 2009 –

QOV – “1200 Quilts Across America” Trailer

I could go on and on. But I’ll stop, wipe my tears away, and get back to creating another quilt!

I need to do my part in saying, "Thank You for your service."
