MY KNIGHTS IN SHINING ARMOR ??? NOPE, THESE ARE MY KNIGHTS IN PARACHUTE MATERIAL !! INTRODUCING THE UNITED STATES ARMY PARACHUTE TEAM....THE FAMOUS GOLDEN KNIGHTS !!!!

OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM CAME OUT IN NUMBERS TO SUPPORT THE "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDAR PROJECT !! I WAS BUSY SIGNING POSTERS AND CALENDARS FOR TWO DAYS AT THE MARCH AIR FORCE BASE AIR SHOW !!!

I THINK THE MOHAWK HAIRCUT ON THIS LITTLE GUY REALLY UPPED HIS "COOLNESS" FACTOR. HE WAS SO CUTE THAT I JUST HAD TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH HIM AT THE AIR SHOW !!

AIRFEST 2008 AT THE MARCH AIR FORCE BASE HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL FITNESS---REMEMBER THE SLOGAN...."NOT JUST STRONG....ARMY STRONG !!"

THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE PERSONNEL AT THE MARCH AIR FORCE BASE AIR SHOW 2008 COULD NOT HAVE BEEN NICER TO THIS PIN-UP GIRL !!!

KEEP THOSE HEART-FELT LETTERS COMING IN !!! YOU ALL HAVE GIVEN ME SO MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT AS I WORK TO SUPPORT OUR HOSPITALIZED VETERANS AND DEPLOYED TROOPS !!!

THE NEXT TIME YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT FILLING UP YOUR GAS TANK, TRY TO IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST TAKE TO FILL UP THIS JUMBO PLANE !!! MMMM...WONDER IF THE AIR FORCE GETS ANY GOOD PRICE DEALS ON GASOLINE ?? THIS IS ONE HUGE FLYING MACHINE !!!

NOW HERE'S THE VEHICLE OF CHOICE FOR MY CALIFORNIA FREEWAYS---A MILITARY ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE !! ****** ( CRASH HELMET INCLUDED !!!)

SOME OF MY FAVORITE FANS ARE THE PINT-SIZE ONES !! THEY ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILE !!!

THE "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDAR PROJECT ALWAYS DRAWS ATTENTION !! I LOVE THOSE BIG CROWDS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THOSE SALES WILL BENEFIT OUR HOSPITALIZED VETERANS !!!
