          o7, to those who served, and then, for having to deal with the copier industry after their service. Had 2 uncles who were 82nd and 101st, late 80s to late 90s.

                    Phil,
                    Thank you for visiting with our veterans in the Fayetteville VA hospital. I wonder if you are familiar with the non-profit Pin-ups for Vets or have encountered any of their members visiting at the same time as you?
                    Mission Statement:

                    Pin-Ups For Vets raises funds to improve Veterans' healthcare, donates funds to VA hospitals for medical equipment and program expansion, improves quality of life for ill Veterans across the United States through personal bedside visits to deliver gifts, promotes volunteerism at Veterans Hospitals, supports homeless Veterans with clothing and calendar gifts delivered to shelters, boosts morale for military wives and female Veterans with makeovers and clothing, and boosts morale for deployed troops through delivery of care packages.





                    One of their fund raisers is the annual production and sales of 1940s style pin-up calendars which they also distribute, free of charge, to veterans during their hospital visits. All of their models are former military.

                      Slim, Yes Sir... In fact last year just before Christmas, MY Unit of the III%UP of NC had a fund raiser for the "Pin-Ups" in Spring Lake ( just around the corner from the VA. Some of the Ladies that were featured on the Calendar were there. We raised over 3k and they ran out of 2019 calendars and other merch.

                      We had a really great day with them, and even some of the guys from the hospital came down and got photos with the Ladies! ( man some were SMOKING HOT!)

                        One of them was actually the 2019 Mrs USA competitor from her home state. If you have Facebook, you can follow them and their founder Gina Elise.

                            Well, I served. Not in USA but...oh, some good memories comes to mind.

                            P.S.
                            Hey Phil, I remember about the broken clock, did you?
                            O yeah, politics is annoying as hell, but at the end of the day we're all brother techs/vets/people!
                            A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
                            Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
