I read the book GOOD NIGHT IRENE, it was one of the best books I've ever read, it's about Donut Dollies

The term Doughnut Dollie actually originated during WW1. They were The Salvation Army volunteer ladies who opened small mobile kitchens behind the allied lines. They would produce these cake doughnuts and then distribute them to the soldiers. It was the soldiers who designated them as The Doughnut Dollies.

It actually wasn't a small group many many volunteered. MY second cousin was one. You have to read Goodnight IRENE, great book all about donut dollies.

My grandma was one of these amazing women. Now she’s getting an award for being the last surviving donut dolly in Utah.

Thank You Ladies ! Thank you So Much ! Me Tet 1968 !

Thank you for making this documentary. I am working hard to get my mother and all others who were Donut Dollies the recognition they deserve to go on our Honor Flight with the other veterans. They have denied her twice and I am working hard to make sure these women and their service and sacrifice are not forgotten.

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.

I met and got a chance to interview Dorner Carmichael earlier this year in DC. She served in Vietnam in 1971. It inspired me to make this short documentary. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXuQaqKdgL1oe5o

God bless these ladies. They went halfway across the world to provide comfort to men who had been dropped into a hell. God bless those men too.

Respect mesdames ❤

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

Donut Dollies didn't belong in Vietnam anymore than the military guys did. This providing American servicemen a little "piece of Americana" was such BS. The guys were stupid-ass enough to allow themselves to go to that war. Let them shove those donuts up their own asses....and not drag women into their warzone.

Thank you so much

Was this unique to Vietnam?

Why do I have a feeling that there are literally millions of Vietnamese that did NOT care about the little "piece of Americana" for the American veterans. Donut Dollies for the US veterans while the country is being plundered to hell. Americans have an extremely poor, self-focused and limited viewpoint of the world. The Vietnamese most likely wanted to be the "Donut Dollies" themselves and shove the donuts up their asses.

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.

Amazing women ! I admire them.😅

Round eyes! Any Nam vet knows what I'm saying.

I remember some of the ARC Ladies from Tachikawa Hospital and the 20th Aeromed Staging flight at Yokota AB (part of Tachi Hosp). There was Mrs Cecil who was married to a CMSgt and a "lil Pixie" named Debbie who rotated back and forth. They were sources of great joy to me, being an old GA boy and there on his first assignment in USAF. Myself, and the whole operations crew got a visit from one of the ladies each shift (12 on, 24 off) to check on how we were doing. It was only 5 minutes but it was FABULOUS!!! You can imagine the "culture shock" AND the War being right in our faces. The Patients came first and kept us all going, but the Dollies kept ALL OF US in line, and repaired whatever mental issues we had. Our ward techs kept THEM grounded and, of course, the single ones flirted. As we unloaded the aircraft, on the taxiway, right outside the dock area, and brought them in, the senior Dollie just watched and were soundly cheered by the patients, who thought the ladies had flown with them. They were put on units and the Nurses and Ladies took over. Mrs Cecil, (I never knew her first name) came down later and sat with us for a few minutes to unwind. The ladies were never lacking for snacks, meals (we had our own chow hall), and a shoulder to cry on, and trust me when I tell you, We had some wet shoulders WELL BEFORE shift change at 0700. I cried when I saw this and remembered ALL THEY HAD TO DO FOR OTHERS WHO COULDN'T DO. Thanks for looking out for our HEARTS!!! FOR OUR PATIENTS, IT WAS ONE SMOOTH, CONTINUOUS LINE OF "DOLLIES", FROM THE BATTLEFIELD TO CONUS.😍😍😍😍😍❤🤍💙

This is an example of how sick and pathetic America can be. A Donut Dollies documentary. I'm sure the Vietnamese, whether friend or foe, appreciate Americans celebrating the Donut Dollies. The US had NO legitimate right or reason to be in Vietnam. The US beat the sh*t out of that country for 11 years. They were invaders and oppressors in a country that did nothing to the US and Americans. The DDs had no more legitimacy being there than the military personnel that were there. But all we care about is the DDs bringing a little piece of Americana to the American chumps and pawns in Vietnam. America.....shame on you for not only disgracefully abusing your military men in Vietnam...but you added women into the scenario and put them at risk as well.

Is this being streamed online anywhere?

Always like the donut holes

❤ beautiful

God Bless the Donut Dollies! Super ladies that brought a touch of the World with them.

My cousin was angry about having to pay for the donuts in WWII.

For its Hi Hi Hee in the good old ARC and the donuts keep rolling along (take two, no more).

To give of yourself for others is a tremendous gift. To go into a conflict of chaos and destruction and without a weapon, these college educated young ladies were warriors themselves. I served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam Era and heard about these ladies from a Gunny Sergeant in our unit who had served in the "Nam." Although it was a brief encounter at the time with these ladies, they made a lasting impression on him. Thank you ladies for all you did!

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!

I served in the Marine Corps from 1971-1975 but was not sent to Vietnam. I lost 2 dear friends over there and miss them to this day. The Donut Dollies are my hero's for sacrificing and serving our men and women while deployed to Vietnam. You all deserve a "welcome home". Your parents raised you right. Semper Fi!

I like the Doughnut Dollies they were pretty and special and some brave girls.

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!

May the good lord watch over all the Donut Dollies forever.

Nice. Thank you for being there for us. RVN 70-71

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.

Well done! salute!

GOD bless each and every one of our Donut Dollies.

Remember them well. Seen them one time at Hai Van Pass 1970.
