What's a nice girl like this...

doing in Vietnam?

So, let's make sure we understand...young women just out of college dressed in powder blue skirts got on helicopters (jeeps) and went out to the firebases to play Bingo with the soldiers?

Wow. So what was that like? How did it affect them? Why did they do it?

We're in post-production for a documentary on the Vietnam Red Cross Girls, aka "Donut Dollies," and I'm looking for a few good grunts with a DD story to tell. Did you see those Round Eyes in powder blue drop into the FOB? Willing to tell your story for the doc? Let me know: cfries@arrowheadfilms.com. DD-214 required. (Watch the trailer.)

I am so glad that you are doing this story of the gals who came to make us forget about the war...they were our touch from home. I have fond memories of the games and just hanging out with us before we left to go on patrol. My Donut Dolly is Emily Strange who served with the 9th Infantry Division...if the truth were known we fell in love with them all and they with us. Thanks for caring back then and now...Doc Pardue
