As many as 70 residents and employees of Juniper Village at Brookline settled into its dining room at 2 p.m. on Veterans Day, facing a long table stacked with neatly folded quilts and a row of nine veterans waiting for the fabric to adorn their shoulders. Juniper Village, located in College Township, is an assisted living community that provides residents with memory care and other skilled nursing. Happy Valley Quilts of Valor , founded in 2015 and a chapter in the national organization, presented handmade quilts to the community’s veteran residents to recognize their service. Quilts of Valor volunteer Sabrina Glasgow, of State College, read out the names of those being honored one by one. As each name was called, other volunteers held their quilt up against the sunlight filtering in through the nearby window, then wrapped them around the veterans. A few veterans thumbed the seams, pinching their quilts at chest level to pull it tighter around themselves. Col. David Allen, who served in the U.S. Air Force from 1962 to 1987, was among the nine veterans honored. His daughter, Maura Allen, of State College, was there to commemorate him, and she said the event meant the world to
