Seven local veterans were honored Wednesday night by women from the Quilts of Valor Baldwin County.

The veterans were presented with quilts recognizing their service.

Cathy Wilson with Quilts of Valor Baldwin County told NBC 15 “It’s an honor. It’s a priviledge. They gave a period of their lives to fight and build for other nations.”

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Stacy Bathrick was one of those honorees.

“To know the community recognizes you, every stitch is made of love. I know it will bring me comfort and joy,” Bathrick said.

Quilts of Valor was started in 2003 by a woman who had a dream of a soldier who needed warmth.
