Byline: Muscogee Nation Veterans Affairs
On April 4, a representative from the Quilts of Valor Foundation presented Muscogee (Creek) Nation Secretary of Veterans Affairs Grover Wind a Quilt of Valor in recognition of his service to the Muscogee Nation, his country, and all veterans.
The Quilts of Valor Foundation began in 2003 from literally a dream experienced by founder Catherine Roberts. In the dream, Roberts’ son, Nat, was deployed in Iraq and according to her, “The dream was as vivid as real life. I saw a young man sitting on the side of his bed in the middle of the night, hunched over. The permeating feeling was one of utter despair. I could see the war demons clustered around, dragging him down into an emotional gutter. Then, as if viewing a movie, I saw him in the next scene wrapped in a quilt. His whole demeanor changed. The message of my dream was: Quilts = Healing.”
Congratulations to Secretary Wind on receiving this distinguished honor.
