Virginia24 Veterans Quilt - I made this Veterans Quilt to honor some of the men in my family who have served this country during a time of war. There are four Marines shown on this quilt, three Army veterans, one Navy veteran and one Air Force veteran. The four people surrounded by gold stars have passed away. My husband, David, who died in 1986 at the age of 44, (upper center photo) is one of these four. His great-uncle, Frank, received the Purple Heart Medal during World War I. Because I didn't have a picture of Frank, I scanned the front and back of his Purple Heart Medal (center photo) which had been passed down in the family to my late husband. 2008 Note: Since I created this quilt, two more veterans, both my brothers-in-law, have passed away.
