We were also lucky to have a presentation at our Sew day on Sunday
so fun to have our Vets come see us in action and then be able to honor them.
We always have a lot of guests - but this one... Holee cow - there was hardly any room - I love that SO much!!
We had :
Navy Vietnam - and Reservist - His quilt was wrapped around him by his daughters - is was so sweet.
Airforce Navigator : Bronze Star, Flying cross, and many others -with 3 combat tours to Vietnam.
Army Vietnam: Silver Star for extraordinary heroism in close combat. I was allowed to read his whole story from his military record. I was quite honored he allowed us to share.
Army Korean conflict and Vietnam
Army Vietnam: He was a replacement in the 25th infantry during the invasion of Cambodia. Awards include the "Cross of Gallantry " Bronze Star and the Army Commendation medal with 2 oak laves ( means it was awarded 3 times)
Army Vietnam - His quilt was made by his sister and she drove from the western slope to see it be awarded ( oh the pressure!!) It was so awesome to see
Navy OEF - Three tours to Iraq and quite shy!
I love being a part of these! We are on a little break for a week or two - I only have 2 presentations in October. Which is quite good - I need to catch up on the washing and prepping of Quilts!! haha
Find me at all these places:
