A large handmade quilted flag hangs in the rotunda of the Sullivan County Courthouse.

Inmates at the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility created this 30 X 20 ft. quilt to honor all those who've died while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan.    
   

The quilt is made up of 6,500 four inch squares of material. The name of a fallen service member is written on each square.

The names continue to be updated. Right now, there are more than 55-hundred names on the quilt.
