On Memorial Day -- I'd like to give a shout out to the Quilts of Valor organization...
 |
| I attend their regional event at the Quad Cities Botanical Center. |
 |
| My husband John and my son Elliott both received quilts. |
 |
| Terry Austin is in charge of the local chapter of Quilts of Valor |
 |
| She gives a big hug to every single veteran. |
 |
| Terry Austin made the two matching quilts John and Elliott received. (there is a label on every quilt). |
 |
| Check into your local organization -- you can honor them by making a quilt, or attending an event... |
 |
| The best thing about the Quilts of Valor is that they don't have a "process"...no veteran needs to fill out a form or prove they are worthy. No officer is considered or honored before a private...their service to their country is honored, without question. |
