Marine Corp Birthday, Veterans Day QOV's and!! Finished ( or not) Friday

Happy Friday!!!

What a week!!

Tuesday was the Marine Corps 251st Birthday and I had the Honor of spending time with a LT Col Marine - who served for 20 years as a pilot. Wow - the stories he told!!  The best honor was being able to wrap him in a Quilt of Valor!!

This is what his Whole Quilt looked like. I forgot to take a backside photo, I was so enjoying just talking with him!!

Then Wednesday!!! Veterans Day!!

The Pioneer Post VFW 2121 in Greeley invited us to come and award some of their members a Quilt of Valor - so That was our afternoon...

what a great event!! There was a cool ceremony at the Veterans Memorial, this VFW served a Lunch for all, and then our presentation wrapped it up. So super cool to be a part of!!  This photo represents Army , Navy and Marines, Dates served from 1955 to 2014 ! Impressive!!

If I counted right 

• Our group has awarded 143 Quilts this year
• I have done 24 Presentations
• Deb and Connie did 1
• Deb did 2 by herself
• We have had 10 sew days
