Disabled American Veterans Assn., Portland Chapter -  Our deepest appreciation to the men and women of this organization for their generous financial donation.  It's hard to know how to thank a group like this who has already given so much to our community and our country. They understand better than most the need to comfort the families of our fallen heroes, and with pride stepped forward to help us.  Their donation has allowed us to purchase fabrics and continue to personally deliver Home of the Brave Quilts to all corners of Oregon, and as we quickly became caught up, to continue to provide quilts to help other states
