## Summary

**Honors the Donut Dollies and their service boosting the morale and welfare of U.S. servicemembers in combat.** The resolution traces the lineage from 1917 Salvation Army "Doughnut Lassies" through World War II Clubmobile volunteers and Korean War deployments, and highlights the Red Cross Supplemental Recreation Activities Overseas program in Vietnam from 1965 to 1972, which deployed more than 600 women, reached over 300,000 servicemembers per month at its peak, covered about 27,000 miles per month, and recorded five in-country deaths including Hannah E. Crews, Virginia E. Kirsch, and Lucinda J. Richter. The Senate urges preserving their story as a lasting testament to courage.
