Korean War vets given quilts as show of thanks
1110QUILT5
Korean War veterans fill the front pews at Central Baptist Church a special presentation in their honor.
As Paul Scroggs tugged at the quilt wrapped around his shoulders, he said with a wry smile, “I wish I had this in Korea.” The comment drew laughs and nods from some of the other Korean War veterans seated Sunday morning in front rows at Central Baptist Church, 785 Main St., Gainesville. They know what Scroggs was referring to — dangerously cold Korean winters.
