I had the great honor of once again participating in this years Medal of Honor -Host city event this past weekend.

Between the Tornado of Oklahoma City and the Snow coming back home the weather was great in Gainesville, Texas.

 

I am not sure if this is the proper place to post this so if Moderator's need to move it feel free.

It encompasses, their medals, ribbons, bust of etc.

The Medal of Honor quilt at the silent auction was quite impressive. I so not think I have ever seen anything like it. This is the USAF MoH signed by Col Day.

Here are artist proof of three MoH recipients that will be made into miniature bust to sell for $600.00.

They are Murphy, Williams, and Vargas.

I had the great pleasure of the sculptor donating Roco bust to the event.

I'm not a quilt guy, but that MOH quilt is pretty awesome. Mind if I ask what it sold for?
