Presented a Quilt of Valor ...

A Quilt of Valor was presented August 16 to Waukon native John Duvel (center in above photo) in honor of his service to this country. He was nominated for the award by his parents, Duane and Shirley Duvel of Waukon. His father, Duane, had also recently received a Quilt of Valor prior to his recent passing and felt John was more deserving of the award than he himself was due to the nature of his service duties and stations. Presenting the quilt in the above photos are members of the Waukon Patriot Quilters Grace Murphy (left) and Peg Mathis (right). Submitted photo.
