???? EVENT HIGHTLIGHTS: This commemorative event will feature a film screening of “The Donut Dollies: 627 Women Who Also Served in Vietnam,” a powerful new documentary by Libbie Hegvik and Madison Munson, followed by a Panel discussion with Q&A, & special tributes honoring the “Donut Dollies.”

THE VIETNAM DONUT DOLLIES’ LEGACY: During the Vietnam War, Donut Dollies—American Red Cross volunteers—traveled into combat zones to provide troops with a momentary reprieve from war. Their presence boosted morale, provided critical psychological support, and created lasting connections. Three Donut Dollies gave their lives in service, and one was awarded the Purple Heart. Their stories continue to inspire and deserve national recognition.

???? PRESERVE YOUR LEGACY: The Military Women’s Memorial is the only national memorial and education center dedicated to honoring all women who have served and are serving our nation. We recognize and preserve the service, stories, experiences, and contributions of all women – past & present – who serve and defend our Nation.

Many women—driven by a desire to serve their country despite limited opportunities—stepped forward in various capacities (Red Cross, USO, Cadet Nurse Corps, to name a few) during times of war when their support was needed most. The Military Women’s Memorial proudly honors these women under the banner of “We Also Served,” ensuring their stories of service, sacrifice, and dedication are preserved and recognized at the Memorial.

The Military Women’s Memorial is proud to honor and recognize the American Red Cross Donut Dollies and encourages all Donut Dollies to take their rightful place in history by registering their story of service to be included in the Military Women’s Memorial National Register.
