Women Veterans of Southwest Missouri American Legion Post 1214 showed their support for combat veterans in August 2016 by donating 93 yards of patriotic fabric and eight rolls of batting to the Ozark Piecemaker's Quilt Guild's "Quilts of Valor" program in Springfield. The collection drive was held in conjunction with United Way of the Ozarks' 24th Annual Day of Caring.
Quilts of Valor is a national program with a mission to cover servicemembers and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing quilts. To request a quilt or to nominate a combat veteran for one, please visit http://www.qovf.org.
