Betty and Dennis Nielsen, recipients of last years
Building Bridges Award, have continued to work tirelessly over the past
several years with one goal in mind: to provide a unique quilt to all the
families of 9/11 victims. With the
help of Churches, youth groups, and various other organizations, they
have produced over 5,000 quilts, expanding their reach to the families of
soldiers lost in the War on Terror.
These quilts provide a tangible comfort, especially to the many
families who have still not received notification of remains. We thank Betty and Dennis for their
dedication, and wish them the best of luck in their noble effort. For more information on the
Nielsen’s Freedom Quilts, please visit their website.
