Rice American Legion hosts

unique ceremony ceremony

Quilts of Valor presentation honors three veterans

Rice American Legion Post 473 recently honored three Vietnamera veterans with unique symbols of comfort.

A Quilts of Valor Foundation presentation Oct. 7 was a first-time event, said Jim Hovda, post adjutant. He said the post was contacted in late

September about hosting its inaugural event.

“It’s a way for veterans who are in need of comfort and understanding to be thanked and recognized,” Hovda said. Hovda served in a U.S. Army Special Forces unit and did a Vietnam tour in 1963-64.

He welcomed U.S. Army veterans Richard Wolch, of Little Falls, Dale Vannorman, of Browerville, and U.S.

Marine Corps veteran

Will Plante, of Rice, to an emotional and honorfilled afternoon ceremony attended by a large group of friends and family.

Quilts of Valor’s mission is simple. The national organization works with state chapters to cover service members and veterans who have been touched by war with warm, colorful handcrafted quilts.

Janet Knafla is a Minnesota coordinator with the Quilts of Valor’s Maple Grove chapter and a U.S. Army veteran.

Her main role is a Quilts of Valor presentation coordinator. She is responsible for setting up presentations and events statewide, contacting veterans, and training new coordinators.

The Grateful Hearts Quilters are 30 members strong and meet monthly to sew veteran quilts. To date, Knafla said her chapter has awarded more than 800 quilts; nationally, the non-profit organization has awarded more than 357,000 quilts.

Knafla presented three quilts at the Oct. 7 event.

“Each stitch that holds the quilt layers together represents love and gratitude,” Knafla said.

A quilt consists of three layers.

Janet Knafla (from left), a Minnesota coordinator with the Quilts of Valor’s Maple Grove chapter and a U.S. Army veteran, presents veteran Will Plante with a quilt Oct. 7 at Rice American Legion in Rice. Plante served in the U.S Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and is a 10-year member of Rice American Legion Post 473. (Inset) Quilts of Valor’s mission is simple. The national organization works with state chapters to cover service members and veterans who have been touched by war with warm, colorful hand-crafted quilts. These quilts were presented Oct. 7 during a special presentation ceremony at the Rice American Legion.

The top is made from many pieces, and reflects the individuals comprising the nation’s armed forces. The batting in the center of the quilt provides warmth, comfort and peace. The quilt backing provides and creates a source of unity and strength, Knafla said. Each quilt has a unique label with the

name of the veteran or service member and the names of those who pieced the top, sewed the layers and bound quilt’s edges.

Quilt of Valor recipients are nominated and assigned to a quilting group.

freedom isn’t free,” Knafla said.

Fraham’s father, Arthur Wolch, is deceased and served in the U.S. Merchant Marine.

“Many hands have touched these quilts,” Knafla said.

Tina Frahm traveled to Rice from Hemingford, Nebraska, to attend the Oct. 7 Rice American Legion Post 473 quilt presentation.

Fraham is an auxiliary member at her hometown American Legion post. She nominated her brother, Richard Wolch, who is a friend with Will Plante, who lives in Rice.

Fraham attended a Quilts of Valor presentation several years ago.

“I nominated both Will and Richard,” Fraham said. “There is an online form that anyone can fill out to nominate a living veteran.”

A Quilt of Valor cannot be bought or sold, Knafla said. It is not a gift, but an expression of gratitude meant to provide comfort and thanks.

“Our quilters know

“I would have loved to nominate him,” she said. “My brother served in Vietnam and received two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star. He suffers from Agent Orange side effects. I also lost my brother-in-law to that type of war-related poisoning.”

Fraham said the men and women who served during the Vietnam War era deserve the thanks and recognition they did not receive when they returned home.

Quilts of Valor helps accomplish that goal. The three-layer quilt of love, healing and warmth is a small token of thanks all veterans deserve, she said.

Knafla said she considers it an honor to present Quilts of Honor, and gives each veteran a big hug after a quilt is presented.

“I really enjoy meeting and getting to know these veterans,” Knafla

said. “They all have amazing experience and stories to share.”

Snippets of those stories were included in the veterans’ Quilt of Valor applications.

Wolch recalled during his Vietnam deployment, a dog in camp alerted American troops when an enemy came close, saving them.

Vannorman’s duty stations included Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) and Cam Ranh Bay. Plante, a 10-year member of Rice American Legion Post 473, was based at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California, and was involved in special missions he could not reveal.

During the Oct. 7 event, Knafla also presented Wolch, Vannorman and Plante with Vietnam veteran lapel pins.

The pins are presented to living U.S. veterans who served on active duty at any time from Nov. 1, 1955, to May 15, 1975, regardless of location of service.

“Our organization is a U.S. Department of Defense partner for the lapel pins,” Knafla said. “The pin distribution will end on Veterans Day in 2025.”
