A couple of years ago Jay Lazarony and his family were touring the Holland Land Office Museum and came across a display of quilts and learned about HLOM's quilt group. They came up with the idea of a quilt honoring veterans with ties to Genesee County.
Today at the museum, that quilt was dedicated.
There are currently 211 names on the quilt and 58 more will be added.
Names were included based on the requests of family members of veterans and patches were filled on a first-come-first-served basis, Lazarony said.
"We thought this was a good way to honor those who served and sacrificed," Lazarony said.
Beautiful job everyone! I
Beautiful job everyone! I know Jay and Hal (the gentleman in the USMC jacket) two of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
