At a time when the Vietnam War was at its height, one man, John “Chickie” Donohue, snuck back into the war zone to find his 3 closest friends and buy them a beer. h/t PHenry.

I’ve read about this, but I hadn’t seen the video. Great story!
I can totally relate. I’m somewhat of a hero myself.
I once ran out of tequila and had to wait three hours for Total Wine & More to deliver during the height of Covid…
Call the man!
Very cool.
Thanks for posting.
I remember when PBR was what was for dinner. Remember playing poker for quarters for the beer machine at the Naval Base in the EM barracks. PBR and Tuborg Gold. Misspent youth.
Great story, great friendship!
Great story
I sent it to my marine Vietnam war fighting father-in-law and it was not well received. At all. Said he probably put lots of lives in danger accommodating his whim.
Not saying I agree with father in law.
I thought he would like the story.
Marines are different…

/sidenote – why is it freaking BEER COMPANIES that seem to have their shit in a sock when it comes to connecting to their customer base?
With the recent exception of the Chevy Rebuild Christmas ad, it seems like ALL other ads want to rub their wokeness into our faces as if we were dogs taking a shit on the carpet. Gay guys, lesbians, trannies, Mohammedans, Punjabs, Chinks, masked vaxxers, POC’s, ad nauseum.
Go to their goddam websites and all you see are “Giving Back” (reparations), “Sustainability” (Green Eco-Scams), “Mission Statement” (run the company into the ground whilst being smug) and so on.
If I was in charge of a company’s website I would have Michael Jordan’s famous quote at the top – “Even Republicans Buy Sneakers”
“Sustainability” would read as “as long as this company can continue making a profit while not screwing over anyone, we will sustain our ability to stay in business”
“Giving Back” would read as “since ‘Giving Back’ would force our company to pick winners and losers, we’d rather pay our employees a decent wage that will allow them to TITHE to their place of worship & charities”
“Mission Statement” would read as “since we aren’t the military, we do not have a Mission Statement. But we promise to do our best to not screw anyone over, meet payroll every Friday, provide best-value service, goods and prices to our customers, pay our federal, state, county and municipal taxes and finally, obey all the endless regulations & red-tape that unaccountable unelected chair-moistening Gummint bureaucrats churn out to keep the Small Businessman down and aid the multinational corporations that have shipped all our jobs overseas to the Chinks”
Great story, our Brothers who served in Vietnam did not deserve the treatment they got when they arrived home.
