Omaha's Quilts of Valor Chapter comforting, honoring vets and military members

Catherine Roberts founded the Quilts of Valor Federation in 2003. It’s a non-profit that awards specialized quilts to military members and veterans who have been touched by war. The quilt is made to help them heal and thank them for their service and sacrifice. In that time nearly 350,000 quilts have been awarded through more than 800 chapters across the country. Omaha’s chapter started in 2014.
