The Greatest Beer Run Ever
by John “Chick” Donohue and J.T. Molloy
One night in 1967, at a New York City bar, a group of men reflected on the family and friends lost to the ongoing war in Vietnam. Eventually, the bartender proposed an idea: one of them should sneak into Vietnam, track down their buddies, share messages of support from back home and some laughs—and maybe even some beer.
John “Chick” Donohue, a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran working as a merchant seaman, raised his hand. Within days, he had collected names, packed his bag full of American beer, and sailed to Vietnam. He arrived at the port of Qui Nhon and embarked on an odyssey that would change his life forever.
An epic adventure, The Greatest Beer Run Ever is proof that friendship knows no boundaries and the ties that bind us are only strengthened in the crucible of war.
