Pin-Up for Vets  
Gina Elise was made an Honorary Colonel by American Legion on June 19th, 2015 for her work with the Military and Veteran Community the past decade.  Gina's organization, Pin-Ups For Vets, produces WWII style pin-up calendars that raise money support the organization's initiatives.  Pin-Ups For Vets  purchases state-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment for VA and Military Hospitals nationwide, ships care packages to deployed troops around the world, and is currently in the middle of a 50-state VA  and Military hospital tour, where the Pin-Ups For Vets Ambassadors hand deliver calendars as appreciation gifts at the hospital bedsides of ill and injured Veterans at VA hospital around the U.S.  They have personally visited over 7,000 hospitalized Veterans.
