Nancy will share REAL war letters from REAL nurses and a REAL Donut Dolly that she received from the combat zone and published in her popular News Journal newspaper column, Nancy’s Vietnam Mailbag, from 1968 to 1972. Lynch compares their REAL experiences to those of Hannah’s fictional Army nurse, Frankie McGrath, a privileged Californian who served two tours in Vietnam after a family tragedy—and found a path forward.
