The window of opportunity to acquire one of this year’s Pin Ups for Vets Calendars is quickly coming to an end so if you haven’t ordered one, or two, for yourself or for one of our wounded warriors, get to it!

Gina emailed…

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am getting ready to wind down the this year’s calendar fundraiser project before I start the production of the 2008 calendar! Get ready! :) There are 80 calendars left. I’d like to sell them so I can make a great donation to the Veteran’s Hospital! So, if you want a 2007 calendar, or would like one to be donated to a hospitalized vet or deployed military, try to purchase it soon before they are sold out. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this.

This was my very first year doing the project and the response and support has been unbelievable. I am so grateful to each and every one of you who purchased a calendar to support this cause. I am also so grateful to the all the fantastic bloggers, Stars and Stripes, and all the newspapers for covering the story about the project to get the word out there. This project would not have been a success without you. It’s a very large team effort..and wow…do we have a loyal team!

Be sure to check the “In The Field” link in a few weeks. Some events coming up that I will post. I have a visit to the Medical Holding Platoon in San Diego to give out your donated calendars. I was asked to be in a Tribute to Vets Parade in mid-April! I am very excited about it!

Also, be sure to send out the website link to any friends and family that would like to support the project as well. Also, if there are any magazines/newspapers you can think of that might be interested in doing a story on the fundraiser, please feel free to forward on thewebsite link. My biggest challenge still is getting the word out there.

Thank you again for your awesome support….and remember..last call for 2007 calendars! :)

  2. Wow, that’s a great idea Hook! I’m so glad you get to go to the Milblog conference and to WR. Please tell them this grateful citizen keeps them all in my thoughts and prayers.

  3. Well, I commend the young lady for what she does. I know of a group that tried to get her to come up to Nor Cal and visit the wounded troops and she couldn’t be bothered. She can keep her calendars for all I care. Sorry, Sgt. Hook. I don’t have much patience for those who go where the glory is.

In view of a recent tendency to identify characters in fiction with real people, it seems proper to state that there are no real people in this volume: both the characters and their names are ficticious. The names or designations of any military units are ficticious. There are no living people nor existing military units presented in this book. -Ernest Hemingway

Fiddler's Green


Halfway down the road to hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
