Free Quilts Available For Veterans In Honor Of Memorial Day – 2021
Patch.com
The City of Waukesha Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department (WPRF) announces Quilts of Valor is accepting nominations for any Veteran or Service Member to receive a free quilt at Frame Park during the visit of The Moving Wall at the end of May. The mission of Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover Service Members and Veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.
In appreciation for their service and sacrifice, the City of Waukesha honors members of the U.S. Armed Forces, Veterans, First Responders and all those who have become Heroes in our lives.
The stirring display of American flags will be posted together with the Vietnam Moving Wall over Memorial Day weekend in May of 2021. There is a story of service, sacrifice, courage, and love behind every flag that is posted. These flags remind the mature, and teach the young, that our freedoms have been purchased by the service and sacrifice of others, with many paying the ultimate price.
The scene of Red, White, and Blue is hard to adequately describe, and once experienced is not to be forgotten. There will be no charge to visit the Field of Honor® display, and all are welcome.
This display is a true gift to our community, and it is made possible through donations, sponsorships, and the efforts of many volunteers. Funds raised will support bringing the Moving Wall to Waukesha. You can show your support by sponsoring a flag or making a donation.
Once the Field of Honor® concludes, the flag you sponsor is yours to pick up.
