As 2017 draws to a close, we would like to thank the 35 Red Cross Donut Dollies who shared their stories of their service in Korea and Vietnam through our Donut Dollie Detail feature. For many, this was the first time that they shared the experiences that shaped the rest of their lives, and for a few, they shared deeply personal events that even those closest to them didn’t know.
Our deepest thanks go out to the 35 women listed below for their service and willingness to share their experiences (read their stories at the link above). We look forward to posting more editions of the Donut Dollie Detail in 2018. If you are a Donut Dollie who would like to share your story through this feature, please contact us at memories@donutdollies.com
