Today, we are here to honor and award Mr. Gale Russell Cornine HIS Quilt of Valor. But first, we want to give you some background on the Quilt of Valor itself. In 2003, the founder of the Quilts of Valor Foundation, Catherine Roberts, had a dream. Her son, Nat, was deployed in Eh-rock. According to Catherine, she saw a young man sitting on the side of his bed in the middle of the night, hunched over. The feeling was one of utter despair. She could see his war demons clustered around, dragging him down. Then, as if viewing a movie, she saw him wrapped in a quilt. His whole demeanor changed from one of despair to one of hope and well being. The message from her dream was one of healing. The model was simple: have a volunteer team who would donate their time and materials to make a quilt. Some would piece and others would quilt. She saw the name for this special quilt to be a Quilt of Valor.
