From Lincoln, Nebraska
We
seldom receive acknowledgements from the recipients of our Quilts of
Valor, and that is perfectly fine. We make them to comfort our vets not
for personal recognition. However, Amy shared this photo of her
presentation to her husband's uncle Arlen, who served in Vietnam. The
QOV was a combination of signature blocks and anniversary blocks.
This is the heartwarming response she received and shared with us:
"Thank
you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful work on the quilt for my
brother. It brought tears to everyone's eyes. My brother never shows a
lot of emotion but this was probably the most honored he has felt since
he left Vietnam since they were never honored when they returned. Thank
you again. You deserve a special reward for all the hard work you do for
so many vets."
