The Local Source for News and Information Since 1980
DENTON – Since 2003, the Quilts of Valor Foundation has worked with local quilting groups across the United States to create and distribute 450,000 quilts to veterans. These special quilts are better known as Quilts of Valor.
The Heartland Quilt Guild of the Eastern Shore hosted a Quilt of Valor ceremony on Thursday, November 5, at Calvary Baptist Church in Denton. Ridgely’s Ella Martin was one of the seven local veterans recognized during the ceremony. Martin served in the United States Air Force from 1977 to 1997, and was one of the first women assigned to the Air Force’s combat communication units.
Each veteran received a unique handmade quilt in honor and thanks for their service.
