A BIG THANK YOU TO MARCOS FOR BUYING A "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDAR !! HE'S SHARES A BIRTHDAY WITH GEORGE WASHINGTON !! HOW ABOUT A RUN FOR PRESIDENT, MARCOS ??

HERE I AM AT THE START OF THE 2008 "SALUTE TO VETERANS" PARADE IN RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA !!

....AND AWAY WE GO TO HONOR OUR VETERANS ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY IN CALIFORNIA !!!

IT SURE DOESN'T HURT TO DO A LITTLE ADVERTISING FOR THE "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDARS ALONG THE PARADE ROUTE !!!

IT IS AN HONOR FOR ME TO POSE WITH OUR VETERANS WHO HAVE ALL SERVED OUR COUNTRY WITH PRIDE !!

IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE FOR ME TO AUTOGRAPH A "PIN-UPS FOR VETS'' CALENDAR THAT A SUPPORTER BUYS !!

IT'S ALL PART OF THE JOB OF BEING A CALENDAR GIRL !!!!

MY LATE GRANDPA LOU SERVED IN THE ARMY FOR FOUR YEARS DURING WORLD WAR II, SO IT'S ALWAYS SO NICE FOR ME TO MEET OUR SURVIVING WWII VETS !!!

THE VETERANS OF THE INLAND EMPIRE MILITARY VEHICLE PRESERVATION CLUB ARE A SUPER BUNCH OF GUYS !!!

WOW !!! TALK ABOUT A WELL DISCIPLINED BUNCH OF YOUNG PEOPLE ---IT'S THE JR. ROTC FROM MARTIN LUTHER KING HIGH SCHOOL IN RIVERSIDE, CA !!!

A HUGE SALUTE TO MILITARY WIVES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES !! WE MUST NOT FORGET THEIR SACRIFICES !

"PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDARS HERE ! GET YOUR AUTOGRAPHED "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDARS HERE !!!

OH THOSE SAILOR BOYS....THEY SURE HAVE AN EYE FOR THE WOMEN, DON'T THEY ??

WAY TOO YOUNG FOR A PIN-UP CALENDAR, BUT NOT TOO YOUNG TO ASK TO POSE WITH A PIN-UP CALENDAR GIRL !!!

PATRIOTIC CALIFORNIA GIRLS COME OUT TO STRUT THEIR STUFF ( AND THEIR COOL VESTS !!) FOR OUR HONORABLE VETERANS !!!

UH....NO "TANKS' , I THINK I WILL WALK., BUT "TANKS" FOR THE RIDE OFFER, ANYWAY !!

IT'S IMPORTANT TO HONOR THE BRAVE VETS FROM THE VIETNAM WAR. . .

WELL, AFTER POUNDING THE PAVEMENT TO RAISE FUNDS FOR OUR HOSPITALIZED VETS, MAYBE A LIFT IN ONE OF THESE MILITARY VEHICLES SOUNDS GOOD RIGHT NOW !!

THIS VERY SWEET LITTLE GIRL RAN UP TO GIVE ME A HUG ! SHE MUST HAVE THOUGHT I WAS PORTRAYING A LIFE-SIZE BARBIE DOLL.....LIKE MAYBE "SOLDIER BARBIE " !!!!

EVERY VETERAN DESERVES A MEDAL !! THANKS GUYS FOR DEDICATING A PART OF YOUR LIFE TO THE SERVICE OF OUR COUNTRY !!

NOTHING LIKE A MAN IN A UNIFORM !!!

I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY WONDERFUL FEMALE SUPPORTERS WHO ALSO LIKE THE CALENDAR PROJECT !!!

OUR BRAVE VIETNAM VETS OFTEN ARRIVE IN WHEELCHAIRS OR SCOOTERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE VETERANS PARADES....BUT THEY ARE THERE TO SHOW THEIR PRIDE AND TO HONOR THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO HAVE SERVED AND CURRENTLY SERVE IN THE U.S. ARMED FORCES !!!

I AM SO HAPPY TO WRITE PERSONAL MESSAGES ON THE "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDAR GIFTS THAT PEOPLE PURCHASE FOR CIVILIANS, VETERANS, AND ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY !!

ANOTHER BIG SALUTE TO THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE FROM U.S. VETS WHO HELP OUR HOMELESS VETERANS GET A NEW START IN LIFE !!!

A PIN-UP GIRL HAS TO RIDE IN STYLE, AND MR. JIM NEISES IS ALWAYS THERE WITH HIS WORLD WAR II CARGO TRUCK TO CARRY ME ON THE PARADE ROUTES !!

ONE MORE AUTOGRAPH FROM A PIN-UP GIRL AND ONE MORE "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDAR SOLD TO HELP OUR ILL AND INJURED VETERANS !! I HAVE THE BEST SUPPORTERS !!
