    I found a Quilled medicine wheel done in the Vietnam Campaign Medal colors
    at the Rocky Mt. National Rendezvous

    I added it to the Cockade on my knit bonnet

    I will see if I can run down an address of the young lady that does the quill work

    If I find it I will post it here

    she is from South Dakota , I see her each year at the RMNR
    She gives each vet that buys one a big hug and kiss on the cheek for their service
