A while ago we wrote an article about J.P. Kidd, an artist with a modern take on WWII era pinup art. Now, Britain-based Web-tex Military Products has Support Personnel T-Shirts with his art emblazoned on the front. Each shirt is available in sizes S-XXL, comes in Olive Green, and features a J.P. Kidd design such as the Commando Girl or Two Squadron Girl. You can find these shirts at web-text.co.uk.
We regularly mention charities that we feel deserve more exposure. The Warrior Shoot Event Group (WESG) is just such a cause. Founded in 2008, the WSEG is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose sole purpose is sponsoring events to help wounded personnel get back on the range to remember their abilities and not their disabilities. They have already held several events and need your assistance to hold more.

Interested in some REALLY cool aviation art? We recently found out about www.SupportTheFrontLines.com where artist Travis Getz has developed a series of store fronts featuring original artwork to support different causes. For example, one of the prints showcased at www.squadronstore.com commemorates the ‘Sea Elks’ (HMM-166) transition from the CH-46 to the MV-22. The majority of the profits from the site are donated to the squadron’s Officers’ Wives’ Club.
Travis does the same thing for a variety of causes. For more information, or to order visit www.SupportTheFrontLines.com.
Still trying to find the perfect Christmas present? Is there is a hail and farewell coming up and you are looking for a unique gift? Or maybe you are just a narcissist and want a museum quality 12″ likeness of yourself.
If any of these are true then you need to seek the services of MAJ Will Rodriguez (USA, Ret) who is the proprietor of The Soldier’s Place. He crafts custom military figures and offer a variety of other momentos. But their greatest offering is what many would call the ultimate action figure; a customized likeness of the recipient, in 1/6th scale. Not only can you choose the figure’s clothing, badges, and kit, with over 100 different faces in stock and a little bit of customization, he can recreate almost anyone.
