One of the reasons I do what I do: A graduate of East Aurora High School, he enlisted in the Army Air Corp in December, 1939. He served in the Pacific Theater, with the Third Photo Reconnaissance Squadron as a Flight Engineer on B29s flying over Japan. Flying 19 missions, he received among other awards the Air Medal with One Oak Leaf Cluster. As a reservist in the US Air Force, he was recalled during the Korean War flying B36s. After discharge he stayed in the active reserves participating in monthly training sessions, retiring as a Lt. Col. He held a private pilot license.

Last night we had the privilege and honor of awarding 4 Quilts of Valor. Here are some pictures.
Whew! We're small but getting it done! Love how our groups come together. Making tops, another group bundling with backings and batting, and yet another group doing the "fixing"! Here are pictures of the tops that came in yesterday.
We were a part of the Honor Flight's Welcome Home celebration in North Chicago last night. And if you heard the mess
Southwest Airlines had yesterday with delays...BIG thank you to Marsha
and 
Suzie and I were at a booth at the Village Quilters Quilt Show in
Libertyville this past weekend. QOV was their service project for the
year. They put together 38 quilts and awarded 18 at an emotional
program Saturday afternoon. What an inspiration! Some made for a
special Veteran and was able to award him/her their quilt. We had a
couple WWII Veterans, one being a Purple Heart recipient, Desert Storm,
Korean, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans present. Ellen said it
right...lot of love in that hall! Word has it they might do it again at
their next show. Here are a few pictures. PS. Came home with 18
completed quilts! Thank you ladies!
