Our friend Bob Belvedere at The Camp of the Saints points out that the lovely Gina Elise, proprietor of Pin-ups for Vets, is trying to win a grant from Pepsi to:
travel to at least one VA or Military Hospital in every state to deliver donated appreciation gifts and make personal bedside visits to thousands of ill and injured Veterans.These visits provide relief from pain, boredom and loneliness that so many of our Nation’s heroes endure while hospitalized. The visit from Gina Elise, in 1940s pin-up attire, bearing donated appreciation gifts (such as nostalgic calendars, posters and “Kiss A Vet” t-shirts), ALWAYS brings a big smile to our nation’s heroes dealing with severe burns, PTSD, amputations, traumatic brain and spinal injuries, chronic pain and illness, addictions and depression. These visits inspire others around the country to volunteer at their local Veterans Hospitals. Most importantly, these visits make a huge impact in the lives of hospitalized Veterans, who come to realize that people appreciate their military service and have not forgotten about them.
What a worth cause! And considering that all you have to do is sign in and push a button once a day, whaddya waiting for???!!!
