A One-Hour Documentary Special, Directed by Cheryl Fries

The majority of you know I spent time in Vietnam (April 66 - April 67) with the Red Cross as a Donut Dollie. Here is the trailer of the documentary that was made about us. The producers are working on distributing it to the Military channel, History channel, ... one of those types of channels which shows these types of documentaries.

Anyway, the trailer is pretty good. And they used a couple of the photos I took while over there.
