Ubi bene ibi patria
"With needles and thread, one volunteer group is laboring to restore some measure of normalcy to wounded soldiers such as Keil by getting them out of hospital gowns and into street clothes. Nationwide, more than 1,000 seamstresses have joined with Sew Much Comfort, together turning out more than 45,000 shirts, shorts, pants, and other clothing. They've been altered with Velcro and have wider pant legs and wider neck openings to make them easier for injured soldiers to wear. The organization offers nearly 60 kinds of clothing and now is beginning to adapt military uniforms for wounded soldiers who want to return to active service."
