Norland Carr of Broken Bow was awarded a Quilt of Valor (QOV) by QOV representative Teri Buhlmann on Easter Sunday with family present alongside him.
Carr served in the United States Army from 1953 until 1955 as part of the Engineer Aviation Gruop in Korea. He received both the Korean Service Medal and the United Nations Medal.
Since it’s founding, QOV has awarded over 427,000 quilts to American veterans and military personnel like Carr in recognition of their service and sacrifice for the country.
At a past local presentation, Buhlman said “Through our quilts you’ll be forever in our hearts and we want you to know there is not a hug strong enough, there are not words big enough and all we can offer you is a thank you. You are our hero. You are in our thoughts and you are in our prayers for all you have done.”
In addition to his quilt, Carr also received a ’60 years continuous membership’ pin from the American Legion.
