Quilts of Valor article

One of us here on RCTQ was busy making Quilts of Valor. Who was that?

The yahoo! group Carol Doak set up for paper-piecers has an ongoing project doing blocks that are put together for the Red-White-Blue Quilts of Valor.

Thanks for the address. I have printed the article and will include it in my file about QOV. I plan to suggest our guild charity quilts go to QOV next year.

Howdy!

Thanks for the reminder, Nann.

Our guild sends quilts to the Brooke Army Medical Center > Thanks for the address. I have printed the article and will include it

There's also a Canadian QOV site, for anyone interested:

I'm afraid, alas, that there will still be a need for them next year.

Nann ....who saw a grand bumpersticker recently: it said "Peacemonger"

I've made several blocks thru Carol Doak's group. But Susan ? was also making quilts.

I think it was Susan Freeman.

Yes..... I drew a blank on the last name.

This group doesn't want to get political but as I child of the 60's and 70's I remember all too well how a war can drag on. That is why I spoke out against the invasion of Iraq when "weapons of mass destruction" were the buzz words. Having traveled in the former Soviet Union I am much more afraid of what is happening to their nuclear weapons than a threat of WMD. Off my soapbox. Also, once this war ends we will still have the wounded with us for another generation. These soldiers will need lifetime care.

And the wounds are not only physical. Here in MN a young ex-Marine took his own life last week because he couldn't deal with the horrors of what he had experienced in Iraq. Even more tragic, he had tried to get into two different VA hospitals, telling them he was suicidal, and was turned away with the excuse that they didn't have room for him and he'd have to go on a waiting list.
