This resolution serves to commend the "Donut Dollies" for their patriotic service and unwavering dedication to the morale and welfare of United States servicemembers in combat zones. It specifically recognizes the historical contributions of the Salvation Army's "Doughnut Lassies" during World War I, who inspired subsequent generations of volunteers. The resolution then honors the courageous women who served as Donut Dollies during World War II and the Korean War, providing comfort, refreshments, and a vital connection to home for troops. Particular emphasis is placed on the **Supplemental Recreation Activities Overseas (SRAO)** program during the Vietnam War, where over 600 young women traveled into active combat zones, often facing significant dangers, to deliver morale-boosting activities and support. These volunteers were praised by military commanders for their indispensable role in maintaining troop morale, despite enduring hardships and personal risks, including injuries and deaths. The resolution urges that the inspiring story of the Donut Dollies be preserved and shared as an enduring testament to their spirit and service during wartime.
