Quilts of Valor

Discover the healing power of quilts at the upcoming Quilt Therapy presentation! Join us on Tuesday, October 20th at 1:00 PM in the Village Commons Room to welcome guest speaker Alycia Carmen, who will present Colorado’s Quilts of Valor. Alycia will share the rich history and deeply moving stories of veterans who have received these quilts at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. Founded in 2003 by Catherine Roberts—who was inspired by a vivid dream while her son was deployed in Iraq—the Quilts of Valor Foundation operates on a powerful message: Quilts = Healing. To date, volunteers have awarded over 457,107 quilts nationwide, offering each recipient an unequivocal message: “Thank you for your service, sacrifice, and valor in serving our nation.”
