QOV presentations

 Friday Afternoon found us at an Assisted Living Facility to award 3 Quilts of Valor. 

There are no photos, but it was very interesting to me. There are 14 veterans in this facility, and they do a therapy program (talk therapy).  I was allowed to sit in on it. I learned a few things, but mostly it was things that I have learned over the years of being in the units they have let me go in

The hardest part for me, was that we were in a closed room. I am kind of (okay really) Claustrophobic, and I struggle even with elevators. I was trying to center my mind, and the vet sitting next to me said - don't like small spaces eh?  Breathe with me. He was 85 - and we did some box breathing together and I was fine.

He was so very sweet, and was so fun to talk to.

( I have been in a lot of small spaces over the years with vets, but since 2020 not as much..*sigh* ) 

The Next QOV presentation was at a Breakfast!

and the latecomer ↓

This is a great group - The latecomer is not in trouble - I promise, his wife had been really sick so he was just a little late getting into the photo  but he wanted to make sure we had a photo to share.

We had a couple - she was army, he air force - so our group had 2 o the same quilts made - and I thought it would be cute to award them to them... that way they couldn't fight over whose was better. ( which I know they wouldn't - but it made everyone laugh)

I have so much fun doing these, and especially when I have gotten the chance to know the veterans personally... I might tease them a bit!!

After Breakfast, I headed back home to switch vehicles - and head to the next presentation.

(I stole my sons car so I could load all the quilts into two vehicles and not get confused!!)
