Another QOV presentation...

 if you are following from  yesterday - I am now in car 2 for the next presentation....

We have been working with this VFW for years  - and of course - I just love them. Sharon is the VFW Aux President and this is her last year of being it. So we wanted to go out with a bang!!!

FIFTEEN Veterans were there with their families and it was so crowded - I LOVED it.

Sharon made the mistake of telling me I was in charge when I got there -the power went to my head haha!


This VFW has been renamed the Danny Dietz VFW and it was an honor to Wrap several Navy Seals, some that were even in the service with Danny in this Presentation.  ( click to Read about Danny Here ) 


I loved getting to learn the bios of these Veterans - we had those that served in: 

  • Operation Joint Force
  • Operation Spartan Shield
  • One who was in charge of HIMARS operations ( I googled and they confirmed - HIMARS is High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems) 
  • Navy Seal Officer 
  • Vietnam
  • Grenada
  • Afghanistan
  • A Computer operator
  • Strategic command
  • Persian gulf
  • Cold war
  • one that conducted night flight operations off a carrier
  • A medic - who now is a command surgeon
  • A machine Gunner
  • an Air Force medic
  • and the president of a Seal Group'
it was pretty cool!!And they were so amazed at all the beauty of the quilts they received. and were quite stunned that someone would want to honor them this way.
