Honoring Our Veterans with Quilts of Valor

Last Wednesday, the Upland Chapter of Quilts of Valor presented 10 hand-crafted quilts to local veterans, a powerful gesture of gratitude for their service and sacrifice.

Quilts of Valor is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing quilts. Each quilt is made by dedicated volunteers who pour their time, creativity, and heart into every stitch. More than just fabric and thread, these quilts represent honor, comfort, and recognition for the men and women who have served our nation.

The mission of Quilts of Valor is simple but profound: to wrap veterans in warmth and healing, reminding them that their service is seen, their sacrifices are valued, and their courage will never be forgotten. By presenting these quilts, the organization gives back to those who gave so much, offering a tangible reminder of the community’s respect and appreciation.

I am honored to support the Upland Chapter of Quilts of Valor and deeply grateful to its volunteers for their dedication to our veterans, ensuring they receive the comfort, dignity, and recognition they have so fully earned.
