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). Or as a six year old put it, "When the 'sholders' are 'warring' and they come home and are hurt, the quilt makes them feel all comfy." This foundation is not about politics. It's about people.
Iraq (as of 12/31/08): Killed: 4,221| Wounded: MANY | Quilts Awarded:18,751
Afghanistan: Killed: 630| Wounded: MANY
Quotes
I received the Purple Heart because of injuries while in Iraq. But the presentation of the quilt hit me hard.
