I’m checking on your progress every day. Glad you’re doing so well. Been through Nebraska, my dad was born there, so we go to a reunion in Cozad The last Sunday of July. Your comments about the scenery remind me of being on the road. We do live in a beautiful, blessed country. I sent my three QOV’s to Camp Lejeune last week. thanks for keeping us updated! Love the stories! From Gary Indiana

I was at the Nikkei Veterans event in Chicago and was so impressed by what you do for veterans. Thank you so much. My father was in the MIS and passed 10 years ago. I’m sure he was smiling at the wonderful ceremony and the recognition. Do you need more piecers? I would be honored to help.

I am looking for information on how I can be a part of this. I would like to make a quilt. Do I need to just make the top or complete a quilt. Where do I send the quilt? My email is karenessig@yahoo.com
Hello, my boyfriend & I watched the report on World News last night and he loved your quilts & we both love what you do, it makes me wish I could sew lol but he is an Iraqi & Kosovo veteran and permanently disabled from the PTSD he suffers from every day, he would really love one of your quilts, it would really mean alot to him & I cant think of a man that deserves it as much so I figured I would take a shot in the dark and see if I could get him one, My name is Kimberly Smith & my email is kn424s@msn.com
It was wonderful meeting you. The Mt. Vernon Quilt Guild was delighted and impressed you took the time to visit We would like for you all to come again and many said they would house you for a future visit. We also would like more information on quilts size and how to distribute them.
Congratulations on your great work.

I received a Quilt of Honor this last Sunday at the Linn Presb. Church along with Art Erickson and Alex Palmmer. I am very Honored and touched by your organization and the wonderful work you do. Would you please contact me, I have 4 other deserving Vets that would love to be Honored. Thank you. Gary Holden
How do I go about getting one of these for my father? He was able to go on an honor flight with my brother and was very moved by the entire experience. (He is a Korean War veteran). We met a World War 2 veteran today who said he has received a quilt. Any information you can send would be greatly appreciated.
What are your rules, requirements to participate? I am part of a committee on a guild that works to make quilts for veterans
We have kept our quilts local in the omaha,nebraska area.
Thank you Kerby selmer
