ROY — Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient Harry Malan knew something was up when his son, Ron, told him to be at the Hill Air Force Museum at 2:30 p.m. Friday, but he had no idea what.

Malan’s children and grandchildren sat excitedly as they waited for him to make the long walk through the museum for him to be honored for his military service in Vietnam.

Malan was awarded with a large, hand-made Purple Heart quilt stitched by local quilt maker Janetta Killough. Killough and her daughter unfolded the quilt and showed off the intricacies to all in attendance as everyone stood and clapped. As Killough handed him the folded quilt, Malan hugged it to him and quietly sat down.
