QUILTS OF HONOR MISSION http://quiltsofhonor.org

The mission of Quilts of Honor is to bestow a universal symbol and token of thanks, solace, and remembrance to those who serve in harm’s way to protect and defend our lives and freedoms. Quilts of Honor are made by the loving hands of countless volunteers who wish to thank those who have served so that they know their sacrifices are appreciated . . . Our hope is that these quilts will provide comfort, love and healing to those who have given so much.
