One of the exhibits in the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio is the Memorial Quilt. On the 50th anniversary of the creation of the United States Air Force in 1997, a special commemorative quilt was approved. All 85 AF installations worldwide responded to participate in the project. On November 22, 1997, a “Grand Quilting Bee” was held in San Antonio, Texas where quilting students and volunteers contributed the final touches to Fabric of the Air Force. Each installation provided a 16 by 16-inch custom make square reflecting its mission. The quilt center features a 36-inch Air Force seal. A total of 100 hand-made squares are incorporated into the quilt.
