Everyday Hero: Salem woman’s vision of handmade blankets provides warmth for disabled vets

PORTLAND, Ore. — To say today’s Everyday Hero saw a need to hand-crochet blankets for disabled vets is not entirely accurate. Debbie Miller of Salem is gradually losing her eyesight, but it hasn’t stopped her from feeling her way to help.

“This sounds weird,” Miller explained. “People see their mistakes by their vision. I see my mistakes with my fingers. So basically I feel my mistakes.”
