Air Force vet who donated two organs poses for Pin-Ups For Vets calendar



She’s got a heart — and other organs — of gold.

Air Force veteran Lindsay Gutierrez, aka Miss March in the 2026 Pin-Ups For Vets calendar, went from the military to modeling — and in between, became a double organ donor, a title only 280 people in the US can claim.

The 42-year-old Oklahoma native spent six years in the military, was deployed to Qatar and Djibouti, earned an Air Force Achievement Medal and was crowned Miss Veteran America in 2017.

After being honorably discharged, she saw an ad for the nonprofit Donor Outreach for Veterans and decided to continue her service. In 2022 she gave a kidney to a fellow vet at Mount Sinai Hospital on Memorial Day Weekend.

“They allowed me the opportunity to choose the date that I wanted to donate. And because I was donating to a veteran, I wanted it to be around a memorable holiday,” Gutierrez, now a social worker at the Department of Defense, told The Post.

“Funny enough, I kind of selfishly got on the Yankees’ schedule just to see whenever they had a home game and it happened to be around the same time as Memorial Day weekend and I was like, ‘Well, that’s perfect.’”

A week after the surgery, she met her kidney’s recipient, Army vet Reggie Robinson, and his wife.

“I gained a new family. It’s just been a fantastic reunion once we were able to finally meet each other,” said Gutierrez, who lives in Maryland while pursuing a doctorate in social work.

Last year, she donated 40% of her liver to an anonymous recipient, who recently surprised her by sending a thank you letter.

“It’s the very first communication we’ve had in 15 months. I’m writing her back and I hope one day we can meet,” she said.

Gutierrez, who hiked Mount Kilimanjaro in 2023, less than a year after her kidney donation, said she is “completely healthy” after her double donation.

“I’m 100 percent back to normal. There’s nothing that I can’t do. There’s no medicine I have to take. I really just watch what I eat and stay hydrated more,” she said.

The brunette beauty felt this year was the right time to pose for the nonprofit Pin-Ups For Vets, whose ’40s pin-up calendar, which raises money for veteran and troop initiatives, features 13 vets with a combined 118 years of serving the country.

“It felt like I have a great platform and story to be able to share about why I should be a part of this,” she said.

She was also thrilled to meet the other calendar girls at the photoshoot, which was held at Galleano Winery in Mira Loma, CA.

“It’s just so inspiring and empowering to be around other women veterans.”

Gutierrez, who met her husband, Anthony, who is on active duty in the Air Force, through her service, said her other half approved of her pin-up pics.

“He loves it. He was so supportive. He was so excited when I told him what I was I doing.”
