Red Cross Donut Dollie Dorset Anderson explores Tuy Hoa, Vietnam

Red Cross Donut Dollies Dorset and Mary had a couple days in Tuy Hoa, so they took the opportunity to take in the sights and attempt to locate the places they once knew.  The first photo is of Cham Tower, and the second is a close-up of an abandoned anti-aircraft bunker.  The third photo shows Dorset walking near the perimeter wall and in sight of the Vietnam War era quonset hut aircraft hangars of what was the Tuy Hoa Air Base, which was home of the 31st Tactical Fighter Wing from 1966-70.  In the fourth photo, Dorset is shown on her quest to find some remnants of the Tuy Hoa Air Base, but unfortunately she discovered that nearly everything had been torn down over the last 46 years.

Donut Dollies Dorset and Mary visit Tuy Hoa and Bob’s Cafe American

The next stop on Donut Dollies Dorset and Mary’s first trip to Vietnam in 46 years was Tuy Hoa. Thanks to the hospitality of expat Vietnam Veteran (’65 – ’68), Bob Johnston, the owner of Bob’s Cafe American, the Dollies and the film crew spent a couple days in Tuy Hoa. The first photo shows the Welcome to Tuy Hua billboard, followed by the Welcome Donut Dollies sign at Bob’s Cafe American, and Dorset and Mary with Bob.

The Donut Dollies receive a warm welcome in Tuy Hòa, Vietnam

Mary and Dorset (in their vintage uniforms) were warmly welcomed at Bob’s Café American in Tuy Hòa, Vietnam. They were both very moved by this gesture, and enjoyed some terrific BBQ!

We are a little over a week into our trip to Vietnam with the Donut Dollies and things are going very well. We’ve met some wonderful people – both Vietnamese and ex-pats – who have been very welcoming and helpful on our quest. We’ll be sharing more photos in the days to come.

Can you help us identify the soldier in this picture?

We’re sharing this photo, because it clearly captures a special moment for everyone in the photo.  It was taken somewhere in or around Tuy Hoa, Vietnam in 1969, and features Donut Dollies Dorset (Hoogland) Anderson and Linda (Sullivan) Schulte.  We’ll appreciate your help.
