Tona Jackson, Quilts of Valor Arizona state coordinator, presented a program at the Sun City National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Agua Fria Chapter’s May meeting. She brought a couple quilts to display.
The Quilts of Valor Foundation was started in 2003 by Catherine Roberts, who had a dream about a young man wrapped in a quilt. The QOVF mission is to award service members and veterans touched by war with a comforting and healing patriotic quilt. By May 2023, more than 350,000 QOVs were awarded throughout the United States and overseas.
The national organization has more than 10,000 volunteer quilters in more than 600 groups in all 50 states.
If interested in nominating a service member or veteran to be awarded a Quilt of Valor, visit QOVG.org to fill out an online nomination form.
