On Wednesday evening, November 13, the National Grange welcomed eleven deserving veterans for a Quilts of Valor presentation at the Waterfront Convention Center. The ceremony was led by Midwest Host Quilts of Valor Chairperson Kathy Baldwin, who read each recipient\u2019s profile, while Doug Baldwin and Dwight Baldwin displayed and presented the quilts. Though four recipients were unable to attend, they will receive their quilts at a later date.<\/p>\n
