CONGRATUALTIONS, GENERAL ERIC SHINSEKI FOR BEING THE NEXT NEW SECRETARY OF THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION !

A BIG SALUTE TO OUR BRAVE HEROES WHO SURVIVED THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR AND TO THOSE WHO DIED DURING THE 1941 ATTACK.

BECAUSE OF OUR UNSTABLE ECONOMY, MANY OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE RE-UPPING TO GET THAT STEADY PAYCHECK AND A JOB !!

CAMERON !! A GREAT PHOTO OF YOU THERE IN IRAQ ! THAT PERSON LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER LOOKS FAMILIAR TO ME !!!

REST IN PEACE, BETTIE PAGE...YOUR PHOTOS WERE TACKED UP ON WALLS IN MILITARY BARRACKS ! A GREAT MORALE BOOST FOR THE TROOPS AWAY FROM HOME !

TO ALL MY SUPPORTERS...PLEASE READ THIS LETTER FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE MILITARY BLOGGERS, SGT. HOOK , WHO WAS DEPLOYED IN IRAQ WHEN HE WROTE THIS !!

I BETTER EAT AN APPLE A DAY TO KEEP THE DOCTOR AWAY BECAUSE I HAVE LOTS OF CALENDAR ORDERS TO PROCESS....SO PLEASE BE PATIENT ! ****AND OF COURSE, A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON TO ALL OF THE "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" SUPPORTERS !!!

THE 2007 "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDAR PROCEEDS WERE ALL DONATED TO A VETERANS HOSPITAL TO SUPPORT THE HEALTH CARE OF OUR VETERANS !

THE PROCEEDS FROM THE 2008 "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDAR WENT TO HELP IN THE REHABILITATION OF OUR WOUNDED WARRIORS AT THE NAVAL MEDICAL CENTER IN SAN DIEGO !

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I AM BEGINNING THE 3RD YEAR OF THE "PIN-UPS FOR VETS" CALENDAR FUNDAISER ! I AM HOPING FOR THE BEST YEAR YET TO HELP OUR VETS AND RECOVERING TROOPS !
