On September 8,
2013, at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in White River, Vermont, my Dad
(Conception Conti) was awarded a Quilt of Valor.
I want to relay to
your team how much this meant to him, and his family. Dad is 92 years old
and still relives his days in the War;” memories that can’t be erased from his
mind (both the good and the bad).
This is an incredibly thoughtful
program and the ceremony at the VA Facility was very well done. The
Rolling Thunder folks met us at the driveway, parked our car and provided
escorts and wheel chairs for both of my parents. WOW, I was
stressing about how I was going to get both of them from the parking lot into
the facility. Once inside the team waited on them like royalty;
which was especially great for my socially needy father. And the
quilts were all very beautiful; clearly works of love. My parents have
their quilt displayed proudly in the living room and not one visitor is spared
the viewing and story of this exceptional event :-)
Although we have no idea who made it,
they will always remain special in the memory of our family. This
quilt will be passed down to the younger generation.
Please express
our appreciation to the QOV team for their loving work.
