Ten veterans were honored for their service and sacrifice during a Quilts of Valor presentation held by the Country Roads Quilters of Ocala on Nov.16 at St. Mark’s Methodist Church in Ocala. The occasionally emotional presentation ceremony saw the veterans receive handmade quilts, many with patriotic themes or special meaning to the veteran. A label attached to each quilt stated it
