On Sunday, March 20, 2022, in a ceremony at CommUnity Church in Salem, VA, Pastor Tom McCracken and wife Laurie, both Coast Guard veterans, were awarded their Quilts Of Valor. Pastor McCracken and his wife were nominated by a member of the congregation, Kitty Yates, who is also a member of Blue Ridge Quilters and Roanoke Quilts of Valor Stitchers. It was an excellent ceremony with the congregation in attendance.
