June 13th Meeting Minutes
Quilt of Valor Presentation to Bill Scott. Bill was awarded Purple Heart twice, Silver Star, and Bronze Star for service. He was hit by shrapnel, had his throat cut with a bayonet, and was put in a body bag. While in the bag he heard a sweet voice saying, "Have no fear" and "Believe". He opened his eyes as the medic unzipped the bag and said, "Thank the Lord." He returned home with an honorable discharge. Thank you for your service Bill.
