Title: Get yer pinup calendars while you can, and support the Wounded Warriors
Post by: GFShill on December 02, 2009, 06:22:11 AM

Instead of the usual airplane calendars this year, maybe you should get one of these instead:

Wanting to create a fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project, Crosby hit upon a plan for a 1940s-style charity pinup calendar.

"The idea clicked that in World War II, pinup girls were a show of support to the military and were very uplifting for morale," she said. "And that was it."

Crosby found 11 other women to pose for the calendar, many of them wives of Fort Benning Soldiers.

In keeping with the nostalgic theme, the backdrop for the calendar features restored World War II planes at the Dixie Wing Commemorative Airfield in Peachtree City, Ga. One calendar model wore an original nurse's uniform used in one of the airfield's museum displays, Crosby said.

If you think it's too much for a nice calendar, how about just sending $20.00 to the Wounded Warrior Project instead. Put your money where your mouth is instead of complaining about a fund raising project.
