SUMMARY:Quilts of Valor Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to view a special Quilts of Valor presentation at the Horry County Museum. Quilts made especially for local veterans will be presented by Quilts of Valor members from the Conway Quilt Guild on Saturday\, November 4th at 1 PM.  The quilts to be awarded will be on display in the Museum beginning October 6th. \nThe mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation (QOVF) is to cover all service members and veterans\, touched by war\, with a comforting and healing quilt. In 2003\, Catherine Roberts\, the founder of the QOVF\, had a son deployed to Iraq. She struggled with how to stay busy and keep her mind busy while he was in harm’s way. One night\, she had a dream where she saw a man sitting on the side of a bed\, shaking. In her dream\, a quilt was placed around his shoulders and he seemed to be comforted. As a nurse and quilter\, Roberts then decided she would make and send quilts to Kandahar. Each stretcher that had a wounded veteran got a red\, white and blue quilt placed on their stretcher. Since 2003\, the foundation\, now a national organization\, has awarded over 300\,000 quilts to veterans throughout the country. \nTo nominate a veteran for a Quilt of Valor\, visit www.qovf.org. \nThis program is free and open to the public and will be held in the Museum’s McCown Auditorium\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway\, SC.
