    While I never actually saw a Donut Dollie while in country (8/68 – 9/69), from what I can gather they were really great. Sadly, they get even less recognition than us troops.
    Thank you, ma’am, for your service and WELCOME HOME!

    You were at the dock to see us off when we left Oakland in October 1966 as we boarded the Edwin D. Patrick for the beginning of our journey and you visited us at Nui Dat in 66-67. What you ladies did to raise our morale will always be remembered and appreciated by those of us for whom you helped make a dark time a little brighter.
    Thank you for your service and all that you did for the troops.
    Welcome Home.

    Thank you. Though I was a war resister who was drafted (never went to Vietnam) I can appreciate just those few moments you brought some sanity to those soldiers caught up in an insane situation. I often visited a USO center when passing through NYC (obviously not to be compared to a war zone) but just knowing people were there meant the world.
    Thanks again.

    I had the good fortune to meet a “donut dolly” when I first arrived in Da Nang, Vietnam in 1967. It was at the transient tent area for the Marine Corps where she was nice enough to talk to me for awhile and take a picture with me. I did not ask her for her address or to write to me as I knew she probably was asked that by hundreds of guys before me and did not want to put her on the spot by having to say no and make her feel bad. I still have the picture that was taken of us and if possible would like to send it in the hope she made it back ok and would see it or someone who served with her and thank her for reminding me of home for awhile and her being nice.
