A soldier must do anything possible to win the war, but a little encouragement from the Patriot Girls never hurt.

Pro wrestling diva, manager and valet Amy Vitale of (South Florida) Boca Raton is a spokes-model for The Patriot Girls, a national organization created in May 2007 to show support and boost the morale for the troops.

Amy is a tough 5-6, 118-pound blonde beauty who is also an actress and fitness model.

The Patriot Girls volunteer their time to create patriotic and military themed images and products, donating a portion of their profits to charities that benefit the soldiers and their families.

The Patriot Girls do more than just gorgeous photo shoots and calendars; they host various events nationwide, raise money with fundraising efforts and assemble care packages for the troops.

Last year the Patriot Girls donated $1 from each calendar sold to the Wounded Warrior Project. This year the Patriot Girls plan to donate a portion of their calendar sales to the Operation Troop Appreciation.
