The Villages Quilters need your help. We are looking for Veterans! Men and women who served our country in any capacity are qualified by their service to our country to receive a quilt of Valor.
Quilts of Valor is a national organization that aims to present quilts to those who have paused their lives for a period of time. Troops need food, supplies, functional equipment, and safe transportation. Our veterans served their country, often putting their plans and dreams on hold for us. The least we can do is to recognize this service.
Why a quilt you ask? Because it can wrap you in warmth and give the hug and comfort so many did not get when they returned home. The Villages quilters have made and presented 31 quilts to our Villages vets. We have quilts ready to present, but our humble vets are reluctant to apply, with some thinking that being overseas or in combat is a requirement.
Please help us honor and thank or vets by encouraging them to apply for a Quilt of Valor. Application forms can be found online in the Patio Room on Fridays or Saturdays, the Community Chapel office, from any member of the Villages quilters or Nancy Chesterton (Villages quilters liaison with QOV).
