Qulit of Valor presented to veteran and resident of Concord Place Memory Care in Knoxville Tennessee

The Quilt of Valor is a hand-made quilt that is awarded to a veteran as a tangible way of expressing appreciation for their service to their country. This honor was recently bestowed upon Dwight McCarter, a veteran who served in the Army Medical Corp and a resident of Concord Place Memory Care in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The Quilts of Valor is a program started in 2003 by Catherine Roberts whose son had returned from serving in Iraq. She noticed a major improvement in his wellbeing after he wrapped himself in a gifted quilt. That was the beginning of an organization that is dedicated to comforting veterans touched by war.

The Concord Place ceremony was covered by WVLT Channel 8. You can read the full video here.
