The Volunteers of the Virginia Memorial Quilt Project are proud to announce that we have mailed our 174th quilt to the family of a serviceman or servicewoman with ties to the Commonwealth of Virginia in appreciation for their sacrifice and service to our Country and for Freedom around the world. It is my pleasure and honor to remember each of these brave individuals and insure that their family will receive an heirloom quilt that will signify the remembrance of their loved one for many years to come.
In talking, meeting and emailing the families, I have many good and many sad conversations. Sharing words whether verbal or written has enriched my life beyond what I ever expected. Our families are blessings to me every day I wake to see a new day.
I recently talked with the family of Specialist Tenzin L. Samten who gave his life on March 13, 2008. Please take a minute and go to the Children Left Behind page and read his 8 year old daughter’s message. Dharma is a wonderful, caring, loving little girl and she will hold a special place in my heart forever! I even want to give her a puppy or a pony, but her mother has not agreed to either yet!
Most sincerely,
Debbie Elam, Chairman

It is absolutely a pleasure to work on this site. I am touched each time I add a soldier who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I am so honored to be associated with the members of this organization who give of their time to support the families left behind. Jackie
