Quilts of Valor

66,246 quilts awarded.
The average age of a soldier is 19.Made of 100% cotton, these quilts are given to soldiers injured in combat,  to small children who have lost a parent in combat, and to injured veterans.

One of the five quilt exhibits at the expo was from Quilts of Valor. There is a QOV guild in Wake Forrest that also had a booth set up. Below is one of my favorites from their exhibit, along with a copy of the information sheet that went with it.
