Honor for Vietnam Veterans

Michael Vigil who served in the Vietnam War was one of five veterans from across the Bay Area who were honored in Santa Rosa by the Quilts of Valor Foundation and the Vietnam Veterans of America.  Quilts of Valor Foundation was founded in 2003 and taps teams of volunteers to make handmade quilts that are awarded to service members or veterans who have been “touched by war” according to its website.  It is a way to honor the veterans.                   Sgt. Vigil stated that when he returned from Vietnam he was not treated well and also had to deal with post-traumatic stress.  Sgt. Vigil did spend time in the hospital.  He states that his wife, his hobbies and his family helped him work through his trauma.  Santa Rosa residents Ronald Mulheren and Robert Broaddus were also honored with a quilt.
