One of the saddest stories in the history of the Red Cross SRAO program (aka Donut Dollies) was the murder of Virginia “Ginny” Kirsch by a soldier in Cu Chi, Vietnam on August 16, 1970. As seen in the TV news story, Ginny will be memorialized, this Sunday, July 30th in Brookfield, Ohio.
We thank Donut Dollie Joan McKniff for bringing this information to our attention.
