Earl Marshall was honored Thursday evening, Feb. 12, at the Piedmont Veterans Center with the presentation of a Quilt of Valor. Earl had been in the Army only a few weeks when the armistice to end the Korean Conflict was signed. Five men and women were recognized that evening with quilts. Supporting Earl that night were Loy and Linda Marshall, Dian Graft, and Pansy Wheeler.
The Piedmont chapter of the Quilts of Valor Foundation, The Stitching Sisters, has made more than 3,000 quilts in the 19 years it has been organized. Each quilt is special and handmade by one of the members before being presented to a veteran. Nationwide, the group has honored more than 430,000 veterans with quilts.
