We hope to see The State Quilt Contest become
a tradition. We are creating this contest among the state
and independent federations in hope to show support for our
troops and one of our yearly projects.
The 2009 Project is to financially help keep the web site:
www.Any Soldier.com online.
The quilts created by each state federation will go to our
Quilts of Valor project (www.nfrwasc.org).
These quilts will be specifically earmarked for Korea Veterans
in Veterans Hospitals. Linda Lafford from Colorado informed
me last year that all the quilts/afghans taken to the hospital
have been for Iraq/Afghanistan soldiers. The hospitals had
expressed they were having an influx of Korean and Vietnam
Veterans that they weren’t prepared for. There were no
donations for these vets. We hope to correct this situation.
