Gina with the Gams and Gunny Pop

It stared out with a post today about a gal named Gina who started a program called Pinups for Vets.  Gina published a calendar  featuring here as a pinup gal in the style of the 1940's pinup gals.  I found it cute and amusing and posted on America's Most Opinionated Mortgage Broker.  I sent Gina an e-mail inviting her to comment to lend some authenticity to the project.

Gina commented and I was pretty happy that I did a bit of due diligence.   She's the real deal:

Brian,
Hello again! It's Gina from the above calendar project. First of all, I wanted to thank you so much for posting information about the fundraiser and getting it out there. And thank you to everyone who is supporting this project by purchasing a calendar either for themself or for a vet or deployed military.
I am going to be visiting a Medical Hold Platoon in a few weeks with many wounded Marines from Iraq and Afghanistan. I would love to be able to bring 55 calendars to all of them. So, if you can donate even one calendar, that will help me reach my goal.
Thank you so much for your support and if you have any questions/comments...please feel free to email me at PinUpsForVets@aol.com
Also, be sure to send on the website link to anyone who might be interested in supporting the project.

What I didn't expect was the comment from "Viper", a Captain in the United States Marine Corps.

All, this is Captain Grose again and I can vouch for the authenticity of this project. I contacted Gina TODAY for the first time and she has answered a half dozen emails from me within minutes of sending them. She also spent almost an hour with me on the phone where we hatched a plan to get her to see the wounded Marines at Balboa. She is as friendly and dedicated to this project as she is beautiful so please help her and those deployed who will undoubtedly cherish one of these calendars.

Captain Grose has a website:

It has some light-hearted posts that Generation X-er's will enjoy, most notably Capt. Grose's dedication to The Electric Company TV show.  Those of you under 45 will definitely remember that one.  It proves that Jarheads have a nostalgic side.

And it has sad stories.  Stories you don't want to hear but must. It has a story about a Marine Non-Com called "The Cigar Marine".  His name is Gunnery Sergeant Nick Popaditch aka "Gunny Pop".  Gunny Pop is a wounded war hero who's going to college here in San Diego to become a school teacher.  Gunny Pop really wants to go back to lead his Marines but has lost an eye from an Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) attack.  Captain Grose dedicates a page filled with links about Gunny Pop.  I implore you, regardless of your feelings about the War Against Terrorism to read this account.

Please consider buying a calendar for a service member overseas.
