The Fantastic Quilt Guild Quilts of Valor chapter of Fairfield Glade presented a Quilt of Valor to Roger Hulgan at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Fairfield Glade on June 2.
Janice Cahill presented the quilt.
Hulgan joined the Coast Guard in September 1968. With his ROTC background, he was chosen to be in the Coast Guard Honor Guard in California for military events, funerals, parades and dignitaries.
Next, he went to New York to follow through with schooling and training.
Hulgan was then sent to Milwaukee, WI, to aid in search and rescue, maintain lighthouses, and help with navigation, military bases, rescue boats and provide safety on the Great Lakes. These actions were needed to keep the homelands safe.
He was honorably discharged in September 1972.
