Tennessee williams Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Widder's too humble and modest to tell everybody, but I'm not. He was awarded a Quilt of Valor a few days ago for his service in the Navy. I couldn't get many specifics from him regarding details. Thank you for your service!
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Is this a new 'soft-stroke' Widder? OLG
Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Widder, Thank you for your service.

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Well shoot, I thought that was a burial shroud... Lovely, the quilt, not you.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Who is Widder? But congratulations to you anyway, Ah, what did you say your name was?
Tyrel Cody Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Congratulations Widder and thank you for your service.
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Thanks everyone. Some history: The 'Quilt of Valor' is sponsored and presented by the Quilt of Valor Foundation. I was surprised, humbled and honored to receive this recognition. Mine was presented in large part for my service in the Navy, and in particular, a 16 month 'tour' of Morocco as a Radioman from 69-71. I was in a little place on the outskirts of the desert at a little place called Sidi Yahia. If you think its hot in Arizona, you ain't been to Sidi Yahia..... I don't recall any specific action I did that I would consider 'valor', but if I did, I would have to keep it a secret..... Thanks again for the kind words. ..........Widder
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Widder, Congrats, on your honor. Or, as they say with Navy ship flags .....Bravo Zulu!
Old Man Graybeard Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Congratulations for the honor and thank you for your service
Keystone, SASS # 47578 Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Congratulations Pard, that's a beautiful quilt to be treasured.
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Now by golly that's proper! When it's hand made it means that much more! Proud of you, pard, well deserved!

You made it to the Gedunk and back unscathed, and brought needed supplies.

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Congratulations to a good man. GG ~
Pat Riot Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Congratulations Widder. I spent a few days in Tangier Morocco in the Spring of ‘82. The weather was warm but nice. What an odd place it was. Hashish and tea everywhere it seemed, but beer and whiskey, not so much. I cannot imagine 16 months there. Swabbies should not have to endure such dry land for so long. Congratulations
Eyesa Horg Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Congratulations Widder and "Thank you" for your service.
