    When preparing activities for the troops, can anyone list a specific thing or game or activity that was created? It’s always mentioned but nobody has listed anything specific and I was just curious.

      We had games based on many topics: cars-it began with flash cards one with fire and a bird for fire bird automobile; geography with questions on tallest US mountain or longest water fall,-it was popular; baseball appealed to smaller groups; we had acetate sheets with football plays–the men over layed them to see who was winning; at Christmas we recorded the beginning of carols on piano and had men guess which carol it was–they were just ways to interact and laugh.

    Thank you for the memories. I look at the pictures, close my eyes, and fall in love again almost 50 years later. God bless

    I am on several veterans Facebook pages and every time the Donut Dollies are mentioned it’s with great fondness and appreciation. Judy you and all the other Dollies served those men better than you could ever imagine. As a member of a Vietnam War reenactment group here in the UK the Donut Dollies are one of the services our members portray with pride. Thank you for your service and welcome home.

    Hello Judy – it has been 46 years since DaNang gang days. In May I visited with Sheila Shanahan in San Antonio and will see Sara Porter later this month in NC. Not long ago, I was going through some VN things and have a copy of a Program that you put together.

    Would love to hear back from you.

    I was a Navy dentist at NSAD Bihn Thuy Feb 71-Jan 72. . I recall you ladies coming to our dive officers club at Binh Thuy and few times. There was blonde girl with short hair named Barb who was dating a pilot in HAL3,, she had a friend named Layne also with blonde hair and a Southern accent and wore one of those Australian digger hats,, like a Stetson with one side folded up.. Do recall what happened to Layne.. I had to leave suddenly to go to Danang my last month to replace some idiot who was attempting to parasail behind a jeep with a regular parachute.

    I just found a picture of my brother-in-law, looking very happy on 1 September 1970.. He is sitting next to Judy, looking even younger than his 20 years, and written next to it is: Happiness is Judy, with a flower drawn next to it. He mentioned the Red Cross girl from Maryland in a letter to his mom, who was a Red Cross nurse. Good to see him happy that day. He was killed in action twelve days later..
