Summary

Welcome to Human School! In this episode, I'm sitting down with my new friend Ann, who generously shares her incredible story with us. Ann was a Donut Dolly in the Vietnam War, which was a Red Cross position that sought to bring a shining example of womanhood to the GIs. She shares about her experience before, during, and after the war. I guarantee you'll gain a new appreciation for the unsung women who served in this sliver of history. Class is in session.
