Appreciating Veteran’s Day with Pinups for the Troops

I’m not big on wars or the military, but I respect the people putting their lives on the line. To show my appreciation, this Veteran’s Day, I compiled a list of modern-day organizations supporting the troops in the old fashioned pinup way!

Pin-ups for the Troops

The Pin-ups for the Troops project is intended to boost the moral of all soldiers stationed away from home. What’s special about this specific project is that they recreate original Gil Elvgren paintings. The photographs are compiled in a small paperback that easily fits into a soldier’s duffle bag, and is made of durable materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of the field. Proceeds from sales of the books are donated to Fisher House.
