Betty Gable, eat your heart out

Via GM, a new calendar for the guys and especially for the vets!

This charming lass has put out a calendar to be sent to hospitalized vets, wounded warriors and to boost the morale of troops everywhere. Each of the “Pin-Ups” are a nostalgic look at Pin-Ups from WWII. Betty Gable, eat your heart out.

Uh huh…OOOHRAHH!!

What’s the idea behind this calendar?

A few years ago, I started seeing news articles about under-funded Veterans’ healthcare programs. Then, there were stories about older Veterans who lay in bed day after day, never receiving any visitors. Reports started surfacing on TV about the severe injuries sustained by our troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The more I heard about the uphill battles of our Wounded Warriors, the more convinced I was of the need to produce a project that would bring in funds to support all of our hospitalized Veterans.
[...]
1. The calendars would be sold to raise funds for our hospitalized Veterans.

2. The calendars would be delivered as gifts to our ill and injured Veterans with messages of appreciation from the donors.

3. The calendars would be sent to our deployed troops to help boost morale and to let them know that Americans back home are thinking of them.

SO…you got your orders. Go buy a few: one for yourself, one for a friend and AT LEAST ONE for a VETERAN - most of know at least ONE. These make excellent Christmas gifts too!

Thanks GM for the tip! Speaking of GM- do check out his brand spanking new site design AND, go vote for him at the Bloggers Choice Awards!
