Quilts of Valor February

And on to Part 2:

Our Quilters love to wrap the quilts around the Veterans. Its just an extra way to give them a hug

I love that not only are they getting a quilt hug

they get a people hug

This was fun - 

The Veteran on the right was not 100% sure what was going to happen

then!! It turns out one of her good friends is one of our quilters - 

so Surprise!! She got to present the quilt!!

Just look at that face - you all - the look of pride!

Not only for his service to our country - but in being honored along with his fellow Veterans

This one was another surprise

he had an idea - but not really the full idea

and it was cool!!!

Then - since all the Vets are up front - 

I have all the attendees have a chance to come say thank you

and it's even more awesome!

But I tell you - Look at that line!

This is a former recipient finding out he was in the same area

as a current recipient and wow! That gives a girl the goosebumps

It's like finding long lost relatives

This one - I am so tickled that K captured it

The sons are holding up dads quilt, and going to get a photo of Dad in front of it

Our presentations are pretty cool - and I am so glad that all of us are in this to make it happen.

One of my favorite parts is that when the Vet looks out and sees 100 people there

All being a part of saying thanks - it just is too cool

Hope you enjoyed seeing what happens with all the quilt, blocks and parts that you are all a part of !
