It's POPPY Month!!
Look to support all our Veterans with poppy donations this month!
So Many Veterans,, Sew Little Time

The red poppy is a powerful symbol of remembrance, gratitude, and sacrifice, worn to honor military personnel who died in war. Inspired by WWI battlefields and the poem “In Flanders Fields,” it represents blood shed in conflict, serves as a fundraising emblem for veterans' needs, and pledges to never forget those who served.

Sue and Pat had the honor of presenting this Air Force quilt to Lt. Colonel ‘Angel’ Pilato! Amazing woman and bio! She served as the first and only woman out of 3.5 million Veterans serving in Southeast Asia to be assigned to manage an officers’ club.
