    Kimberly Topper and Ladies of Quilts of Valor presented a Quilt of Valor to four veterans at the Morris-Little Post 6 American Legion monthly meeting on Aug. 8.

    Topper gave a short presentation on the Quilts of Valor Mission, which is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor. Quilts of Valor focuses on those most in need of comfort and healing first, those who need to know their sacrifice is acknowledged, those who need the affirmation of a hug, and those who never heard the words “Welcome Home.”
