Camp Humphreys Volunteers Assemble Face Masks to Help Troops

Great job by these volunteers:

Craig Frank, 48, of Vermillion, S.D., teamed up with his daughter, Anastasia Frank, 16, to sew cloth masks as part of a volunteer initiative for the military community at Camp Humphreys, South Korea, Wednesday, April 8, 2020.

As U.S. troops everywhere are increasingly required to wear masks to ward off coronavirus, a group of volunteers has begun churning out cloth coverings to make up for shortages nearly two months into the pandemic in South Korea.

The volunteers, including civilians, military spouses and even some soldiers, set up an assembly line operation at the arts and crafts center Tuesday on Camp Humphreys, which is the main Army garrison on the divided peninsula.

The morale, welfare and recreation division has provided more than 500 yards of fabric, thread, elastic and sewing machines, said Kelly Schmidt, one of the main organizers and the wife of Eighth Army Command Sgt. Maj. Jason Schmidt.
