Editor’s note: This article was amended and reposted, due to initial and continued confusion about which organization was to present Wiersema with his quilt, Quilts of Honor or Quilts of Valor. It is the latter.
Sergeant-at-Arms Jerry Brearton stated, “On Saturday, April 13, 2019, at 1:00 p.m., Ronald Wiersema, Legionnaire of The American Legion Post 328, will receive a [handmade] Quilt of Valor.”
“The short but significant ceremony will be held at the Post, 306 E. Main Street, in Morrison, IL. All are invited” to share in this tribute.
Quilts of Valor Foundation is a not-for-profit organization based in Winterset, IA.
The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.
