- A sneak peek at The Donut Dollies documentary - our upcoming feature length film recognizing and honoring the brave women who volunteered with the Red Cross in the Vietnam and Korean Wars. For more info, subscribe here and check out www.DonutDollies.com
One of the best things in this world as a man is just having nice pretty woman that is respectful to you and talks to you. Just those two things can help a man so much.
Over there ALL round eyed women were pretty. We appreciated ALL of them. Thank you ladies!
These ladies were in the worst place anyone could ever be and still had smiles on their faces. I had to be there, they didn't. God bless these ladies!!!
Amen. Same here.
You "had" to be there...they didn't. Reality check. You had a choice just like I did. You didn't belong there...and neither did they. I resisted the war and therefore didn't need a Donut Dolly to risk their lives putting donuts in my mouth. That was all surreal....like the comments on this story.
God bless the Donut Dollies.
They brought a lot of joy to a lot of GIs in a place that was very short on joy.
Much admiration and respect to those dedicated women - volunteers all.
Awe, too bad. There wasn't much "joy" in Vietnam?? Maybe that's b/c the US had NO legitimate right or reason to be in an Asian civil war for independence. So sorry the GIs didn't have Vietnamese Donut Dollies too.

And you're blaming the G.I.s for that?
Man, the more things change, the more they remain exactly the same.
Vietnam Vets can't get no fucking respect.
If you want to blame someone.... blame the Democrat Party (LBJ)...
I have NEVER voted for a Democrat since the war - and NEVER will.
Oh, BTW....
There were plenty of Vietnamese Doughnut Dollies - they were just called something else.
Buddy, you've got great hindsight 50 years after the fact.
However, I agree with you on one point - this country isn't worth fighting for any more. Let the radical progressive social workers fight the next war - which I suspect, ain't too far off. Get ready!!!!!!
As we used to say:
Take sharp objects out of your pockets...
Spread your legs a comfortable distance apart...
Bend over and grab your ankles...
Now....
KISS YOUR ASS GOOD-BYE!
May the good lord watch over all the Donut Dollies forever.
Shout out to the DD’s who I will always love, especially Emily who is no longer with us. There may be others too, but a great thanks for caring about us.

GOD bless each and every one of our Donut Dollies.
Thank you ladies for your service at a time when alot of Americans were protesting a war being fought by unwilling draftees. I knew they were there just never crossed paths with any heard stories about helicopter pilots faking loss of power when they had dollies on board for the trill
Unwilling draftees?? Unwilling draftees who had a choice...just like me. The fact that women were put in Harm's Way in that F-up war to put donuts in a veterans mouth is beyond shameful.
I remember the American DD's. They were certainly a very welcomed sight for this Army GI stationed in the Iron Triangle in a mounted Infantry mobile unit. Many times they couldn't get in to visit with us due to so much hostile activity in our area but when they could they were most welcome. To me they brought a touch of Americana to this young homesick combat warrior in a desperate need of a connection to back home to help me keep my sanity at times.
We only got their visits maybe 6 or 7 times in my year and a half over there but boy howdy did I enjoy them so much. Their visits helped me to know someone still cared for what we fighting and dying for over there back then. I have many fond memories of them and their visits.
Thanks for sharing that man, that’s a great story….
Really appreciate you taking the time to write that down.
I was born in 68, at Rammstein Air Force Base. My dad was a doctor who took care of the GIs before sending them back home to the states.
Very heartfelt. I don't no what else to say but it is a a privilege to hear your story and thank you very much. From Canada
@@greasyflight6609 Thank you.
You know if you would have done the right thing and resisted the Vietnam war...along with the other 2.7 million other veterans....there would have been NO Donut Dollies to give you a piece of Americana...and risking their lives. Shame on America and you. You were "homesick"? Poor baby. I'm sure the Vietnamese felt sorry for you.
I remember the Donut Dollies! Every month or two they come and visit us at the 41st Scout Dog Plt in Lia Khe. I remember being on a fire support base in the Michelin rubber plantation when they came in on a "Slick ". The funny part is I was sitting on one of those out door toilets (1/3 of oil drum with wood for a seat) taking a dump. The Slick few right over me. It was funny!
Would you have been in or around Dau Tieng at the time? Western edge of the Michelin. Also - Lai Khe.... were you Big Red One?
Reminds me of the time I heard three Huey's landing in our LZ one hot afternoon (about 110+° or more that day) while I was standing outside of my assigned M113A tracked vehicle and taking a shower with my 5 gallon of sun warmed water Jerry Can as usual and I was all soaped up and lathering my body with soap when I suddenly heard a female voice giggling real close to me.
I immediately spun around to see a DD standing with her hand across her mouth giggling up a storm. I couldn't grab my green GI towel quick enough to cover with. She managed to say "oh you don't need to cover up on my account" with a smile and a smirk. I was so embarrassed by the incident but later when she was recounting the experience to her other DD associates and all are giggling up a storm at me I had to kind of laugh as well. The stories I could (and probably have told) about those years, Wow. Fond memories.
Alright brothers, I was with the 35th IPSD ‘69-70 in Dau Tieng , far side of the runway in the Michelin Rubber Plantation…
I was dating a girl one year after I graduated high school.
She wanted to enlist and become a Donut Dolly.
She certainly had the charm and good looks.
She was perfect for the task.
I never at the time could understand why she desired to go over there and do that.
By the time I was drafted in November of 68 I figured it out.
She made guys feel like people cared for them while they were in Vietnam serving their country.
She had a lot of guts and a ton of compassion.
RIP Paula, you put smiles on a lot of faces who were performing difficult jobs.
She’s still creating smiles in heaven I’m sure.
67/68. I remember hearing about the donut dollies, but never had any contact with them. I did get a red cross Christmas bag, ( a small green cloth bag with a red draw string. ) that had writing materials in it. I still have the bag with some Vietnamese Christmas cards in it. God bless those young women for coming over there.
Amen God Bless them Abundantly We Need People like that in the U S Armed Forces
I hope you see yourself as beautiful, both inside and out, because for what you did, what you provided in your time spent there is a beautiful gift of giving. As a veteran of that time period myself, I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you. Semper Fi!
Did you sniff too much Agent Orange when you were there? You were an oppressor and aggressor in Vietnam. You had NO right or reason to be there....and neither did the women putting donuts in your mouth. Your syrupy BS so ignores the reality of Vietnam.
Wonderful trailerQ Can't wait to see the full-length documentary! My big sister Nancy (Caracciolo) Warner! Makes us all proud. Welcome home to the young women who volunteered and risked their lives and well-being.
Nice job Norm. Can't wait to see the whole thing. Love you guys.
Wow it is! We can't wait to see the whole documentary.
They were absolutely AWESOME!!!
Awesome, I can hardly watch this, blow me away, I was in Country 27 Roman Plow. 67 to 69,
18 months ETS out of Nam. >>You Ladies are Heroes, >>Exceptional Bravery...……..
My pleasure to Honor your calling. GOD Bless you & yours.
I think I was in Country when the weather Gal killed her self after hearing her boy friend died.
Chopper Pilot...…
I remember those days, she would kick her shoe off & everyone went wild seeing that. \
she was a pretty girl as all of you were / are. Bless you & yours.
Thank for being there, Thank You Donut Dollies.
I was with the 11thACR mounted infantry and we had the job of escorting and protecting 3 companies of Rome Plow units in and around Tay Ninh city/province in 1970-71. I was one of the FO's. We comprised three troops of the 11th guarding those 3 companies of Rome Plow units. And boy howdy did times get plenty hot and rough during my tour. Thank you for your service bro.
Cannot wait to see the whole documentary!.
Wow! It's amazing that a program like that existed... and it's a story that I've never heard about! Looking forward to seeing the full movie!
Between the nurses and the DD they were the only round eyes around and it was a way the guys got a small taste of home. Like goofing off with your sister, mom or girl. Proud I have had the chance to know several.
Only time I ever saw them was in-country R&R. Saw them at Tan San Nhut airport in Saigon, and at Vung Tau. They never made it to firebase Mahone up near the Cambodian border. 2nd Bn, 28th Inf Reg, Big Red One 1969. Remember they were called "Round Eyes".
Remember them well. Seen them one time at Hai Van Pass 1970.
God Bless the Donut Dollies! Super ladies that brought a touch of the World with them.
Thank you so much
That is so awesome! Thank you for sharing 🇺🇸😀
Well done ladies.An god bless your brave souls.
I love this.
I just ordered my tickets to see the movie on September 28th at the GI Film Festival San Diego. Looking forward to it.
I had two tours 65-66, 69-70. I rarely saw them. Maybe because I was an officer. I did spend a lot of time at fire support bases.
God Bless and Watch over this great nation of ours.
I read the book GOOD NIGHT IRENE, it was one of the best books I've ever read, it's about Donut Dollies
I spent two tours in South Vietnam but not once ever ran into a donut dollie or any other "round eye" for that matter.
I was in Chu Lai in 69-70. I am trying to locate a Red Cross volunteer, also stationed there, at that time; Rita Collins, from California. I have been unable to locate her or any source that might be able to help. If you know her, or have access to a roster for that period, I would be most grateful for assistance in locating her, or news of her present whereabouts. Thank you, George Craig, cocojoe45@gmail.com
Thank you for your service, and welcome home!
Sir, did you read what I wrote? I never saw one the entire time I was there. So how in the hell am I supposed to know that?
LOL I remember you donut dollies on the fireplaces when we came in for Security it was funny seeing you there because we thought you were crazy for being out there but you were a very welcome site to see we all loved you guys very much thank you again for being there for us God bless you ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
They were crazy....and YOU were even more crazy allowing yourself to be a chump and pawn of the Government and being in Vietnam. But that touch of BS "Americana" was so important...wasn't it.
I served in n vietnam and was stationed in qui nhon from 1971 to 1972 a young lady a donut dolly stoped in and vane to me and said that she was from my home town of marysville and yuba city California and sutter were I went to school and said that I used to run with her brother , well I dint remember who she or her brother were but I’d sure like to know , it was uplifting talking to her so far from home
The french had a woman helicopter
Pilot who flew into combat zones
In first indochina war to evacuate
Wounded.she was also a surgeon
And parachutist
Other women served in evacuation
Aircraft as nurses!
Wow. Every day is a school day. And I've learned something here..
That’s awesome! had no idea
I had very limited contact with "Donut Dollies." (Army Plieku and An Khe 1969-1970) Guess I went to Red Cross morale building once or twice but never saw activities shown in this film. Honestly, I was told they were for Officers ... 🤔 Glad somebody cared.
Thanks ladies I have a picture of one lady wish I New her name.
We would like to try and help identify the Donut Dollie in your photo if we can. Please send a scan of the photo to us at memories@donutdollies.com
Brave young ladies………. 11th ACR….Class of 67
11th ACR class of 70-71 Tay Ninh and Cu Chi province.
Got to Xuan Loc on 8/31/67 and then the 2nd squadron was up there, that’s were I joined them. Couple of months we moved back south, and then up to Tet 68 we moved around a lot. Welcome home Brother…… Allons
@@blackhorse2947 I hope it is ok but I have had the 11th Armored Cav patch on my fishing vest for over 25 years. I served in the Canadian Army back in the 80s. I read a couple of books on your unit...I think one of them was titled "A Hundred Miles Of Bad Road" Thank you from your Northern brothers
I can rember when they came to f.b. bunker hill back in April of 72.
GODDAMN, Thank God for all the "round eyes" that went there. There service can never be measured
Dollie Donut.
Respect mesdames ❤
Mmmmm donuts ... Mmmmmm Donut Dollies!
at 3:03, the young lady I beleve has an electric strawberry patch, 25th infantry I think. I volunteer for the Red Cross, and study their history, now I am wondering, and thinking that why we have a uniform in our collection with the electric strawberry on it, how can I help you
Something wrong here, yeah DDs were there. The ones I saw in the highlands you would need a Skycrane to move. I think they ate all the donuts
Haha, that’s funny…
My cousin was angry about having to pay for the donuts in WWII.
they were at korat afb, woe be onto any one that did not respect them.

Round eyes! Any Nam vet knows what I'm saying.
Donuts??
Had I known about the Donut Dollies, I might have signed up - instead of dodging the draft.
On Judge Day, I 🙏🛐 that GOD Almighty Himself will take the reposed souls of the ARC( American Red Cross) " Donut 🍩 Dollies" ,into His Loving Arms, and tell Them, " Well done, thou good and faithful servants, enter into the Blessed Joy of Your LORD" , for what They did in support of the United States Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman and Coastie, during the Vietnam War. 🇺🇸🇺🇲🪖🎖️💣💥🍩❤️🇺🇲🇺🇸
Show this to a feminist...
We sure could have used them in Afghanistan.....
