Photos of these wounded war veterans are so good that they can put any model to shame!

California based photographer Michael Stokes has created a series of photographs of war veterans portrayed in a never-before calendar-esque nude style.

Stokes started the project when officer Alex Minsky, whose leg had to be amputated after an Afghanistan bombing, was photographed by him. Stokes, seeing him, made a full-fledged series as more soldiers joined this beautiful project. This is a salute to the soldiers and their pride.
