Quilt of Valor, Trip Around the World
#45
Thank you for remembering our service men. They come back often with physical problems as well as with mental and emotional issues. My son has been out the service several years and is just now appearing somewhat normal after dealing with PTSD. Unfortunately, PTSD is never "cured". It strikes at unexpected times.

[QUOTE=Dina;7292948]I just put the last border on this Trip Around the World quilt, which will be a Quilt of Valor after I get it sandwiched and quilted.
I think it turned out rather well, and I hope the veteran who gets it likes it. Does anyone know if a vet gets to select his/her quilt or is that decision made by someone else?

I'm a Quilt of Valor (QOVF) Foundation member and from what I've seen sometimes the veterans get to choose the quilt they like best and other times they are handed out by the group coordinator or another QOVF member. It's pretty much up to the group coordinator. Hope this helps. Love, love, love this quilt!!! Thank you for donating it to a veteran. I promise you that any veteran who receives it will cherish it. Sometimes veterans actually cry at the award ceremonies when they are awarded one and say that no one ever said thank you before (especially Vietnam vets). God bless, Linda
