“My Ancestors Fought For Freedom before They Had

“My Ancestors Fought For Freedom before They Had Their Own.”

This work honors the patriotic sacrifices made by so many African-American men and women who honorably served in the Armed Forces and Merchant Marines throughout the history of the USA. They volunteered and fought with honor and courage, despite the limited opportunities available to them as citizens in their home towns, cities, and states.⁣

We owe them so much more than we can ever repay. ⁣

This is a CELEBRATION QUILT. A celebration quilt can be a historical commemoration or a remembrance specific to your family history.

“My Ancestors Fought For Freedom before They Had Their Own.”

These wall quilts honor the patriotic sacrifices made by so many African-American men and women who honorably served in the Armed Forces and Merchant Marines throughout the history of the USA. They volunteered and fought with honor and courage, despite the limited opportunities available to them as citizens in their home towns, cities, and states.⁣

We owe them so much more than we can ever repay. ⁣

These are both a CELEBRATION QUILT. A celebration quilt can be a historical commemoration or a remembrance specific to your family history.
