WE Can Make A Difference!

Yesterday, a Gold Star Spouse, Jane Horton, talked about the ultimate sacrifice her husband made while serving our country in Afghanistan.  She asked Americans to "Come Together and Make A Difference".

 

 Gold Star Spouse, Jane Horton expresses her concern for America's Vets

 

WE Can Make A Difference in the Lives of our American Veterans and Service Members.  WE can Honor them for their Service and Sacrifice through a Quilt of Honor. 

As a Tribute and In Memory of our Afghanistan and Iraq Veterans during the 20th Anniversary of 9/11, WE will award Quilts of Honor to our Veterans and Service Members.

We have already begun quilting a Quilt of Honor to be awarded to one of our area Veterans.
