Honoring a war vet

Annette Mullen, a quilter who lives in Desert Aire, presents a Quilt of Valor to U.S. Air Force Capt. Matthew Schroer, who recently returned home from a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Mullen made the quilt for the Quilt Of Valor Foundation. The presentation was made on June 15 after the Desert Aire Fly-In at the home of Schroer's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Naser of Desert Aire. Capt. Schroer, who flew missions supporting ground troops in Afghanistan, was in Desert Aire for the Fly-in. He is stationed at Luke AFB, Ariz.
