Twenty military veterans were honored Saturday, July 27 during the Prairie Days Celebration in Prairie City. Quiltmakers and presenters were Deb Elrod, Marilyn Samson, Judy Sohn and Marcia Grimm. We thank these, and all our brave service members and veterans, for their sacrifice and valor in serving our country.
