Sarah Lamp, 40, will be featured as Miss September 2024 for the upcoming Pin-Ups for Vets calendar. Lamp served in the Air Force from 2003 to 2018. Pin-Ups for Vets founder, Gina Elise, began this nonprofit as an effort to help raise money for hospitalized and deployed troops. Lamp hopes that her calendar photos will inspire others who are also struggling with mental health.

From Fox News:

Lamp is hopeful her photos will inspire others struggling with their mental health. She said speaking out allows her to shine a spotlight on a topic that many feel shame to openly discuss.

“I have anxiety and depression, so doing this calendar was absolutely terrifying for me,” the Iowa resident admitted. “But also, at the same time … the purpose for this calendar is far bigger than me. And it will hopefully outlive me in the fact that we will continue to support our veterans after I’m ever in the calendar.”

Lamp said growing up she was inspired by her father’s love for the military. The patriarch often wore a faded Army green jacket, went through pairs of black combat boots and restored military jeeps.

“He was born with flat feet and really bad eyesight, so there wasn’t really any way for him to make it in the military,” the 40-year-old explained. “He did, however, continue to love the military his whole life, even though he couldn’t serve. … And he loved watching military movies, too. I know it was my dad’s dream to serve.”

Lamp said her father made sure she had a “daily dose of ‘Star Trek'” and was always reminded of how proud he was of America.

“He had such a vivid imagination and felt there was something bigger out there, something you could be a part of, to boldly go where no one has gone before,” she chuckled. “I felt like I could make that a reality.”

Lamp’s brother went on to become an F-16 fighter pilot. Lamp enlisted in the USAF in 2003. Her father died before he could see her serve.

“Cancer sucks,” she said.

  2. A) a SERVICE photo? Where’s the pinup?!
    B) Dad sounds like he was one lie away from being a guest here.

    2. Reading Ms Lamp’s statement, I don’t get that vibe about her dad. If anything, I get the vibe that he probably went too far the other way, like always apologizing for not having served even though serving wasn’t an option available to him.

  4. If any of these illiterate ignorant LibTard know-nothings want to know what a “woman” is, I’ll point them in her direction, “THIS is a woman”.

  6. I’ve been a huge supporter of Pin-Ups for Vets almost since they started. Met Gina in person and my wife and I had dinner with her during a VA Visit in Massachusetts about a decade ago. I will continue to support the organization as much as I can as long as its mission continues.

  9. And before too long you just KNOW that a trans female/male/hybrid will want to pose for one of the months…I’m hoping December, wrapped up in a Tundra Coat waving a Soviet flag.
