From Maine Q of V

GORHAM – The Maine chapter of Quilts of Valor presented quilts to several local veterans during the last week of January.

Don A. Sinclair, 102, of South Portland, served in the Army during World War II. His granddaughter, Maegan S.Healy, who served in the Air Force, flew in from Louisiana to wrap him in his Quilt of Valor. Her father surprised her by wrapping her in her own Quilt of Valor.

Donna Brookings, Maine State Coordinator for Quilts of Valor, was on hand for this ceremony, along with Joy Lewis Asuncion of Honor Flight Maine.

Sinclair was presented with his quilt at his home, accompanied by several family members and close friends.

Asuncion awarded a quilt to Leona Bright Chasse, a WWII veteran with the Navy WAVES, in a private ceremony in her home in Cornish.
