The Central Flint Hills Area Quilt of Valor Project Friday night joined a national celebration in recognition of the 200,000th Quilt of Valor to be awarded through the Quilt of Valor Foundation.

Veterans and service members who have been awarded a Quilt of Valor were invited to bring their quilt to the celebration and were honored by participating in a Quilt of Valor parade.  Quilt of Valor quiltmakers and those in the area wanting to express their gratitude to military veterans and service members wee also invited attend. Also, one of the highlights was the awarding of a Quilt of Valor to a local Vietnam veteran.
