Quilt of Valor

Two of my uncles served in the Korean War. I once asked my Uncle Jo what it was like to be in the war. He slowly shook his head and said that he couldn’t talk about; the experiences were too horrible. His response shook me up because my Uncle Jo was absolutely the most joyous, caring and kind man on this planet. I became incredibly sad to think that Uncle Jo experienced hurtful times and memories related to the war.

Fast forward twenty years, I am blessed to be friends with many women who make quilts specifically designed in patriotic colors and designs; the quilts are then given to veterans. The quilts are called Quilts of Valor. One such quilting friend, Mimi, hand delivers her quilts all across America to the veterans. To all the veterans across America, we quilters say thank you for your service and sacrifice. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
