Title	Oral history interview with Jeanne M. Christie on 2008 July, 1.
Description	Interview conducted by Timothy H. Jones. Jeanne M. Christie grew up in Wisconsin and joined the Red Cross to work in Vietnam. She describes herself as naïve at the time and unaware of the full extent of what was happening in the war. Her job with the Red Cross was with the Supplemental Recreational Activities Overseas (SRAO). Christie describes the job as very difficult although it was based on a simple premise. Their job was to make the soldiers forget about death and dying, even if it was just for a short time, and by any means they could. She recalls being very silly, playing games, and even having bubble blowing contests, as the most important aspect of their work was to make the soldiers laugh. She was in Vietnam as a "doughnut dolly" for just over a year, and when she returned to the United States she went to graduate school for Art Education, before returning to service as part of the USO in Guam.
