A Blanket that makes a Difference on Memorial Day
Our Grateful Nation
At Pendleton, we are thankful when one of our blankets can help make a difference. This is the case with our Grateful Nation blanket.
The Ribbons
The Grateful Nation blanket honors the sacrifice of brave men and women who have defended freedom throughout the history of the United States of America. Each authentically colored stripe represents a service ribbon awarded to veterans of historical conflicts in which our country has engaged:
- World War II Asiatic Pacific Campaign
- World War II Europe-Africa-Middle East Campaign
- Korean Service
- US Vietnam Service
- Southwest Asia Service (Gulf War)
- War on Terrorism
For a Good Cause
A portion of every blanket’s sale goes to support the Fisher House Foundation and its mission to support the families of veterans. As their website states:
Fisher House Foundation is best known for the network of comfort homes built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers nationwide and in Europe. Fisher Houses are beautiful homes, donated to the military and Department of Veterans Affairs. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time – during the hospitalization for a combat injury, illness or disease… Since 1990, the foundation has saved military, veterans and their families an estimated $200 million in out of pocket costs for lodging and transportation.
On Memorial Day and every day, Pendleton is proud to honor the men and women of our Armed Services.
