FT. MOORE, Ga. — In an act of charity and sacrifice, the off-base pole snuggler known as Sister Merry’n Bury has started a new Lenten abstinence and charity trend: she's not stripping for officers.

“There’s an underserved population here in Georgia. I had it on my heart recently that I should reach out to the less fortunate, so I looked around one night: all these officers were giving me large tips, and there was some younger-looking guys, timid and wide-eyed, in one of the booths, so I asked who they was. They all said they was privates,” Bury said.
