             TRIBUTE TO THE FABRIC AND FRIENDS QUILT GUILD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 20, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Fabric 
and Friends Quilt Guild of Adair County, Iowa, for their continued 
service to our country's veterans.
  The Guild, which was formed in 2001, began with members creating 
``cooling ties'' for soldiers deployed to Iraq and quilts for service 
members recovering at Walter Reed Hospital. Guild members now present 
``Red, White and Blue'' quilts to local service members.
  Mr. Speaker, the selflessness and dedication each member of this 
group demonstrates embodies the Iowa spirit and I am honored to 
represent them, and Iowans like them, in the United States Congress. I 
know that all of my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives will join me in recognizing the Fabric and Friends 
Quilt Guild for their service to our armed service members and veterans 
and wish them nothing but continued success.
