Profiles in Countermoonbattery: Gina Elise
Not all of the heroes in our current war take up arms against Islamic terrorists. Take Gina Elise for example:
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.
Rather than yelp to the government, Gina rolled up her sleeves and got to work herself.
My late Grandpa Lou served in the army for 4 years during World War II. I wanted to do something to honor his name. I always loved the romance of those bygone eras — especially the 1940's — and I drew inspiration from the World War II pin-up girls, whose photos and paintings boosted morale for our soldiers fighting overseas.
Her pinup calendars certainly do boost morale. The proceeds go to help hospitalized vets. In addition, free calendars go to ill or injured vets and to troops out in the field, as reminders that not all Americans support the troops by demanding they surrender.
Get your calendar here. No one can say it isn't for a good cause.
On a tip from Hiram.

Wow... nice everything.
Now, that's a healthy young lass.
We need to ship copies of the calenders to the Smith College Hairy Bull-Dyke Club. That'd REALLY drive 'em goofy.
