Veteran begins quilting business with gift from Gammill, WVV
|
Six years ago, Daniel Burgess, a young Army Staff Sergeant, would have never dreamed of life as a professional quilter. How drastically life has changed since his deployment to Afghanistan in August 2011 is a testament to the belief that you should never take a day for granted. And, the new life Burgess created is proof that blessings can be found in the most tragic of situations.
Daniel’s story is one of incredible strength. From the strength to serve his country in a dangerous foreign land, the strength to battle back from tragedy and ultimately the strength to find new purpose in a completely different arena. Now, he is using that strength to be a blessing to other people.
