F.E. WARREN AFB, Wyo. (AFNEWS) --  To help in what may be a war hero's most traumatic life experience, one military spouse uses her love of quilting to give the gift of comfort.

Tana Angerman, wife of the 90th Communications Squadron commander, Maj. Scott Angerman, volunteers her time and talents for Quilts of Valor -- an organization that gives handmade quilts to all servicemembers wounded in combat in the war on terrorism.

"I make the entire quilt from beginning to end," she said. "That includes procuring all of the materials, planning and the cutting out of all the shapes."

Mrs. Angerman said she enjoys contributing to the organization because she believes in giving back to the military.

"We as a family have been blessed," she said. "We just try to look for ways to give back."

Wounded servicemembers need all the comfort they can get Mrs. Angerman said, and she hopes her quilts make their transition a bit easier.

"I just hope I somehow brighten their day because many of them have a long road to go with their injuries," she said.
