About this event

Join us on Saturday afternoon, May 2, for this documentary film with Director Norm Anderson. This is a little known story of the small group of American women who volunteered to serve in the Vietnam War through the Red Cross Supplemental Recreation Activities Overseas (SRAO) program. They were better known by our brave military men as “The Donut Dollies” (a nickname from WWII and the Korean War). Armed only with smiles and hand-made games, the Donut Dollies risked their lives every day to achieve their mission of cheering up and bringing a sense of home to the U.S. troops. We believe these women are an important part of women’s history and America’s history. Through the release of “The Donut Dollies”, we hope to do our part in sharing their story. (taken from donutdollies.com)
