Sewing for servicemembers

Elizabeth Jones, left, spouse of Lt. Col Kurt Jones, 709th Airlift Squadron, and Tanya Rutland, founder of the 512th Airlift Wing Spouses Group and wife of 512th Airlift Wing Commander Col. Ronald A. Rutland, spent May 15 ripping the seams out of shorts and sewing in Velcro and snaps to make it easier for injured servicemembers to slip on the shorts over medical devices such as braces and fixators. The project is part of Sew Much Comfort, a non-profit organization that provides adapted clothing to seriously injured servicemembers who have fought in the war on terror.
