VFW Post 5669 Quilt of Valor Presentations
Two Scott County Veterans, Mike Douglas, and Jim Morrow recently received a Quilt of Valor in recognition of their service to their country and community. Mike was a member of the US Air Force and served in Vietnam while Jim was a member of the US Air Force and Army and was deployed to both Vietnam and Iraq.
A Quilt of Valor (QOV) is a quality, handmade quilt that is machine or hand quilted. It is awarded to a Service Member or Veteran who has been touched by war. The Quilt says unequivocally, “Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.”
Each and every stitch represents a hug to the Veteran from the grateful people of the nation. Over 390,000 quilts have been awarded. If you would like to learn more about this program, find out how you can participate, or wish to nominate a Veteran for a Quilt of Valor, visit http://www.qov.org or call (423) 627-4348.
