Each month  a Veteran of the United States Armed Services that resides at Forest Haven has been honored by the Jonesboro Heritage Quilt Guild (HQG) in recognition of their service. This past week, it was Wally Meek that received the Veterans Quilt that was hand stitched by the ladies of the HGC. Meek served as a Private in the Army where he was deployed as a welder at a base in France for over two years toward the end of the Korean War. 

The Heritage Quilt Guild meets at 9:30 am on the 1st Wednesday of each month at the Jonesboro-Hodge Methodist Church, located at 402 4th Street in Jonesboro. The non-profit charity organization provides a means for quilters and guild lovers to promote the appreciation and preservation of quilts and share the art so it can be handed down to others.
