To help raise money for the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC, the Woodward Wal-Mart made six quilts using the photos of Woodward's World War II Vets. Many of the names listed on these pages were on the quilts, which were then auctioned off at a special ceremony held in the Wal-Mart parking lot. Over $2600.00 was bid for the six quilts, all of which was sent to the Memorial Fund. All the material for the quilts was donated. The ladies who worked so hard to make them also donated their time.
