- Description:
- Kay Wellinger talks about her service in the American Red Cross in 1969 during the Vietnam War. Wellinger says that she graduated from college in 1966 with a degree in Russian and began working for the CIA right out of school. Looking for more excitement, she joined the Red Cross and was sent to Saigon for two weeks of "supplemental recreation activity overseas" training. She talks about living in fire bases and planning recreational activities for the First Division and later the First Air Cavalry, living under enemy fire in bunkers, being housed and fed right with the troops, receiving hazardous duty pay and constantly being afraid for her life. She says she left Vietnam in October 1969, resigned from the Red Cross and was married that November. Welllinger also says she never heard any complaints from the troops about serving while she was in Vietnam and that when she came home she never experienced any negative fallout from people involved in the antiwar movement. Wellinger is interviewed by Virginia E. Emrich.
