Quilts of Valor presentations for Veterans Day

Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, eight "Quilts of Valor" were presented to area veterans at a ceremony held at the Vet's Club in Waukon. Making the presentation for the second year were local quilters Linda Cook, Lois Abler and Jane Meyer. Those receiving the quilts at the presentation included, left to right in photo at right, Mike Van Gorp, Cheri White, Paul Howes, Pat Bresnahan, Robbie Burrett (unavailable to attend but represented by his grandson, Michael Roth, who is also a U.S. military veteran), Don Johnson and Kenny Lough. The eighth presentation was made to Pat Ward, who was also unavailable to attend. The Quilts of Valor presentation was just part of the many area Veterans Day observances held throughout area schools and other locations in honor of those who have served.
