A group of 13 women with over 100 years of military service between them are raising money for VA hospital programs with a 50s-style pin-up fashion calendar.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Pin-Ups For Vets\u2019 calendar features two Purple Heart recipients, an Army Lt. Colonel who served 39 months in Iraq on three deployments, and a 25-year Marine Corps veteran who lost their arm.<\/p>\n

The calendar, in its fourth year, previously donated more than $120,000 to VA hospitals for new rehabilitation equipment. The 2025 calendar will raise funds for hospitals run by the Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans who are ill, injured or homeless and deployed troops and military spouses.<\/p>\n

The annual project is a nod to vintage pin-up posters that featured famous women like Rita Hayworth and Betty Grable popularized during WWII. The posters were also seen as a morale booster for soldiers during the war to \u201cremind young men what they were fighting for,\u201d as one WWII blog put it.<\/p>\n

The women who were part of the 19th annual calendar also used it as a chance to embrace their feminine side.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
