Camo quilts are presented to any veterans who experienced combat, are injured, deployed or have health problems. The specially made quilts are made by volunteers who care about veterans and appreciate their service.  There is no charge to the veteran for the quilt.

Norb Carter never finished high school.  Due to the lack of manpower he had to work on the farm.  He was subsequently drafted and sent to Korea.  Norb did finally receive his diploma at a ceremony held at Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School in Jackson.
