Missouri Freedom Quilters presented Quilts of Valor to four veterans Friday, January 20, at the United Methodist Church in Rock Port, Missouri. Receiving quilts, from left to right, were: Jim Salmond, Air Force; William Amthor, Army; Curtis Elam, Navy; and Matt Straub, Army Reserve. Missouri Freedom Quilters has made over 100 Quilts of Valor for veterans in Atchison County. These quilts are registered to Quilts of Valor with the recipient’s name. The group operates solely on donations and is able to do this through the generous donations of businesses and individuals in and around our community. If you know of a local veteran who has not yet received a Quilt of Valor, call Sharon Groff at 660-744-2544 or Jean Mensen at 660-744-2085.
