Somonauk CUSD #432 would like to offer the opportunity for our community to nominate service members and veterans to become a recipient of a Quilt of Valor and be recognized at our upcoming Veteran’s Day Assembly hosted by Somonauk High School on Veterans Day.


A Quilt of Valor® (QOV) is a quality, handmade quilt that is machine or hand quilted. It is awarded to a Service Member or Veteran who has been touched by war. The Quilt says unequivocally, “Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.”


To use the term Quilt of Valor, Quilts of Valor or QOV, the quilt must be a specific size, must have a label with required information, it must be awarded (it is not a gift) and it must be recorded. (www.qofv.org)


In order to nominate a member of service or veteran, one must pick up a paper application at any of the three school offices, JRW, Somonauk Middle School, or Somonauk High School. Due to the amount of time required to pair up a service member or veteran with a unique quilt, applications need to be submitted no later than Friday, October 17th, 2025 to Bryan McMahan located at Somonauk High School.
