My name is Jack. I’m a retired Marine who served in Vietnam and received a Purple Heart. I’m not a Quilter, but I’m married to one: Jane Dougherty of Branford, CT. To be more accurate, Jane is a Quilt-Topper.
The mission of the QOV Foundation is to cover ALL war wounded and injured servicemembers and veterans from the War on Terror whether physical or psychological wounds with Wartime quilts called Quilts of Valor (QOVS).
This foundation is not about politics. It's about people.
