From the Quilt of Valour™ website: A Quilt of Valour™ is a hug from a grateful nation and a tribute to an injured Canadian Armed Forces member, past or present. Although most of us will never know the soldier who will receive our quilt, imagine what it would be like for you if you did know the soldier. What if that soldier was your spouse, your brother/sister, your friend or your child?

Halifax Unit members have been recipients of a Quilt of Valour including Captain (Ret’d) Alfreda (Freddie) Douglas, CD; Major (Ret’d) Dave King, CD; and Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret’d) Gord Peckham, MSM, CD.
