Veteran’s Stories examples See Vignette Folder What does a quilt mean to a Veteran to receive a QOV? It was an honor to accept the quilt of valor as a veteran protecting the United States of America. During my time of service during the Vietnam Era we Veterans were not really recognized or respected as Veterans. Vietnam Vet, 1959-1965  My Quilt of Valor means the world to me.  It was so wonderful to be honored in such a way.   Returning from Viet Nam we were made fun of, spit on, and treated so badly for so long.   Never getting any respect for what we did.   I am truly appreciative of the honor now.  And I appreciate the Quilts of Valor honoring my three buddies I was with in Viet Nam with … Brothers forever.  Vietnam Vet, 1968 - 1970 Veteran’s Stories examples
