Can't believe I've never seen this documentary. Thanks!

That was fascinating Thanks

I knew they were there, but I don't think I ever saw one. I was not out in the field and those guys who were needed to see them more than I did.

I was a TC in the Central Highlands in '69. I guess I'd heard of Donut Dollies, but never saw one; wish I had

Thanks! I can’t think of a better way to spend an hour than learning about these amazing women.

Great documentary that I had no clue about. Thank you for sharing!

1969-1970 We had some in my area of South Korea (North of Seoul)... I Was at Camp Sabre (Munsan-ri) 5/38 Field Artillery 105 mm Howitzers / 2nd Infantry Division.....Twice got volunteered to be one of the drivers that drove them around to some of the the different camps that the visited..... Both times was every day for a 1 week period...Several times we even crossed the Imjin River which was considered a hostile fire zone to even going inside the DMZ to visit a couple Guard Post positions on top of fortified hill tops...... Drove either 1/4ton military jeeps , 2 1/2 ton trucks or the 1 1/4 ton Jeep pickup truck. No the smoothest ride with the military seat cushions to the point that the girls sometimes they brought personal pillows for added seat padding......Was a treat for the guys to see hometown females with round eyes and medimun legnth skirts.. Sang songs / played silly games that some even seemed childish but it was a big morale booster....... Several times picked them up and delivered them to the officers club for evening activities..... Oh the memories. Sometimes they brought the donuts and sometimes the mess hall cooks made some..... These women deserve to be recognized as combat veterans.. Just like the medics tended to our physical wounds these "Donut Dollies" tended to our mental wounds as well as our heart wounds........Ladies I salute you............................... drill sgt.

That was a really uplifting documentary. What remarkable young women!
It was a more innocent time…in many ways a better time than what we’ve gone through lately.
I hope we’re returning to an America more like that.

@drill sgt, I think we've crossed paths before. I was 5/38th 11/65-3/67, remember the fun visits from those ladies.
