American Values Sunday ๐บ๐ธ
Last Saturday morning in Marshall, Minnesota, people packed the Adult Community Center to thank six local veterans the old-fashioned way, with a handmade quilt.
The local Quilts of Valor group, Pieces for Heroes, has about 20 volunteers who meet up to sew, plus others who quilt at home. Every quilt has its own patriotic design, picked to go with the veteran receiving it.
The men honored served in the Air Force, the Navy and Naval Reserve, and the Army and Army National Guard. Kenneth Schultz served on submarines out of Pearl Harbor from 1960 to 1964. Emmet Bakke taught Air Force crews how to survive if they were shot down. Lee Steven Simmons was in the Guard from 1971 to 2007, was in charge of his Redwood Falls unit's troops when they deployed to Kosovo in 2003, and retired after 38 years of service.
David Erp, Curt Fried and Barry Nauman were wrapped in quilts too.
"It is a blessing to see all of you so very proud of our veterans," said Nancy McClain of Quilts of Valor.
Her message to the men was simple: "We want you to know that you will always be in our hearts."
Nobody asked for a grant or waited on a program. A group of neighbors with sewing machines decided these men deserved a thank-you they could wrap up in. That's what American values look like, and it's still alive out here.
@ZachHumphries I wish content creators would do more of this content instead of drama.
All from the XRPL, a 24hr snapshot of RLUSD/XRP.
THIS IS WHAT WE INVESTED IN.

I counted 24 hours of RLUSD on the XRP Ledger. @XRPLF
Everyone argues about whether RLUSD uses XRP. Nobody publishes the numbers. So I pulled them straight from the ledger.
@Bougaloo32@NCashOfficial Lol, attacking ripple for your XRP investment isn't expressing concern. Its fundamentally not understanding what you invested in.
@ZachHumphries How? Nothing about XRP or the XRPL has changed. Ripple is not XRP or the XRPL. If someone is mad at Ripple for their personal XRP investment, they do not understand what they bought.

@AlewXRP@therealbabacugs Lol, I gotta the real examples of how RLUSD uses XRP. More USD more XRP use.
I'm not just spamming my bs opinion like you are. I actually went and found the transactions myself.
Prove your opinion or stfu. Damn dude. Get a job.
@AncapAir As you sit cozy, fat and happy living within it. This post is so disgusting, you piss on the Graves of Americans. You cant even control your weight let alone a country.
