Chairs of Honor
Chairs of Honor is a non-profit organization founded by Roy Adams, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel turned professional woodworker. CoH, honors Veterans by telling their stories of sacrifice and service to the nation, through custom, handcrafted, heirloom-quality chairs that have the Veteran's stories linked to the chair in digital form. Too often, Veteran's stories are forgotten or, worse, never told. CoH matches a custom chairmaker to a Veteran to handcraft the Veteran a heirloom chair. CoH then records, preserves, and archives the Veteran's stories and links it to the chair for perpetuity. As the chair is passed down to family generations they can learn about the Veteran through the chair's linked stories. To find out more or to donate please visit Charisofhonor.com
