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.
The 2025 Pin-Ups For Vets’ 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.
The calendar, in its fourth year, previously donated more than $120,000 to VA hospitals for new rehabilitation equipment.
Army Ranger Master Sgt. Joe Thach was driving to work Friday morning when traffic began to slow and billowing smoke erupted just ahead of him. It was, he realized, a car beginning to burn, with the driver stuck inside. The senior Ranger NCO leaped into the fiery wreck and pulled out an entrapped driver, almost certainly saving the man’s life.
Thach is no stranger to such moments.
For one, he’s an 18-year Army vet, with more than half that time at the 75th Ranger Regiment. His combat awards include a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with V device.
