The Greenbrier Valley-Alderson Quilt Guild held a Quilts of Valor presentation at the Edgewood Presbyterian Church in Lewisburg on Sunday, May 31. Ten veterans received beautiful, red, white, and blue patriotic quilts and a certificate of valor in recognition of their dedicated military service to the United States of America.
Amber Hinkle offered a prayer of appreciation, support and thanks for all military service personnel. Nan Shetterly made the presentations, assisted by Nadine Wykle and Ann Rapp. Grace Boxwell, Chair of the Guild’s QOV Committee, was thanked for providing oversight in coordinating the construction of the quilts and organizing the presentation ceremony and refreshments.
