This link, Quilts of Valor Foundation | (qovf.org), takes you to more info on QOV. Originally organized to provide disabled vets with quilts, it has expanded. Their organization’s commitment is “to cover our veterans and service members with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.” I am trying to make arrangements to have quilts presented to our vets at St, Andrew’s, i.e., Joe Dubee, Harry Mautte, Frank O’Meara, Mario Scrimenti, and Marty Utitus.

          Requests have to be submitted with certain information. Then the quilts have to be made and we can make arrangements to have them presented at a Sunday service.

          I have a friend who was the state coordinator for Quilts of Valor. She is still involved and is willing to help with the application process and the presentations. All we need from you is specific information about your military service:

 

                   NAME

                   MILITARY BRANCH

                   YEARS OF SERVICE

                   RANK UPON DISCHARGE

 

      

 

If you know of other veterans at St. Andrew’s whom I have omitted, PLEASE let me know so that I can reach out to them, too.

       If you’d like to receive a QOV, please send me the information requested above ASAP. If you are not, please let me know that.
