Quilts of Valor were presented to four Marengo residents June 29 by Cindy Grimm of Letts on behalf of the Southeast Iowa Quilters. The quilts are made and presented under the auspices of the Quilts of Valor Association, a non-profit organization that recognizes all veterans who served the country honorably and bravely. Receiving quilts were Christy Zieser who served in the U.S. Army from 1992-1996; Tre Gonzales who served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2014-2018; Pastor Joseph Blay who served in the U. S. Army from 1997-2016; and Glenn Goben who served in the Army National Guard. The congregation of the First United Methodist Church of Marengo honored these veterans in a brief ceremony following the morning worship service. (Submitted photo)
