Long Island Quilts of Valor
What is a Quilt of Valor?
A Quilt of Valor® (QOV) is a quality, handmade quilt that is machine or hand quilted. It is awarded to a Service Member or Veteran who has been touched by war. The Quilt says unequivocally, “Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.”
Thanks to you and the interest in this very worthy cause, our group is Brand New and the first and only on Long Island!
What better way to honor our Veterans than with the start of our own "Long Island - Quilts of Valor Group".
