Learn about the service of Vietnam veterans and their counterparts from the American Red Cross Overseas Association (ARCOA), thousands of whom served as “Donut Dolly” volunteers in Vietnam during the 1960’s and 70’s.
The Vietnam War (1955-1975) was a complicated military conflict in the divided country of Vietnam that evolved into a major undeclared war. It functioned as a violent expression of the Cold War (1946-1991) between the western democracies led by the United States and communist countries dominated by China and the Soviet Union. By the late 1960’s, it became increasingly clear that the US and its allies were unlikely to win as military and civilian casualties mounted. The war also led to political unrest in America.
Bring your own bagged lunch, pull up a chair and listen as they share stories of their service during ARCOA’s annual convention in Pittsburgh. For more information, call Sam Moore at )412) 454-6373.
