Last night we hosted our "Quilts of Honor". Our Guild Members spent the year making quilts for 23 Veterans, who served in either the World War II, Korea, Vietnam or Desert Storm,. Each person could choose the quilt that they wanted.There was a variety to choose from. Each recipient was nominated by a Guild member which means so much. Our very own Navy Veteran, Tom Kremer read the Flanders Field poem by John Mcrae. Our room was packed full. Thank you Veterans!
