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.
Crazy or caring, Chickie gave his friends more than beer, he gave them hope. Hope that helped each one safely return home when the war was over. Now, 47 years later, the group is reunited to relive the greatest beer run ever.

my old man did something like this in WWII. He took a row boat out to a destroyer in the Mediterranean because his childhood friend was on it. The captain said no way to let him board, and the crew howled in protest, probably thinking that it could just as easy have been their friend bouncing in those waves so far below. The captain acquiesced and he spent an afternoon with his childhood friend on a destroyer.

My great grandfather served on Coastal Defense Battleship HSwMS Sverige from 1934 to late summer 1939. Just a week after he had retired from the military to go back home to be a bus driver, Germany invaded Poland ans Sweden was on high alert. Well, we knew about the coming invasion but we didn't know how bad it was going to become in the long run. We knew about Operation Barbarossa months before it actually happened (since Sweden cracked the Enigma and the T52 German main encryptor in 2 weeks) but warning other nations of the German threats would most likely put our country in the line of fire for the German war machine. I'm just glad my great grandfather didn't have to serve in the Swedish Navy during WW2 because even if we didn't actively fight, we did protect Polish naval vessels and kept the Kriegsmarine at bay in the Baltic Sea, since Sweden was considered a great threat to the Reich because in the event of an invasion Sweden would have to be supplied by sea and there was no way Germany could send their largest vesels into the Baltic Sea, while Sweden had designed their ships to be smaller and thus more agile in the shallow waters of the Baltics.

My brother was in Vietnam in 1968-69. I was a junior in High School. My life was never to be the same. Absolutely nothing like it impacted him it additionally changed me. Looking at this short and seeing the clips awakened flashbacks of sitting in our cozy den at home watching the news ever night and beginning to pray,”Lord Keep Him Safe.” I observe him today 54 years later and see him in the clips shown in the short. They left as boys and for those that returned, they came home as men. Those boys that served in Vietnam will always be my heroes. I now have a new Vietnam hero. His name is Chickie D. 12:56

They started giving her shooting lessons, then started training her, and she basically went feral. He had a theory that the crazier a war story sounds, the truer it is.

Chickie is a class act. I had the honor and privilege of installing a bell/buzzer door lock for the hog house on 87th st in NYC for the 2nd Ave subway project. The chime for the buzzer played the theme from "The Quiet Man". I had met him before and was in awe of his stature in the industry. To do a simple favor for a man like him was task. I was given a free pass to the hog house whenever I wanted to take 5. It was a hot, humid summer that year and guess what always a cold can for me. God bless.

So in a way, you made a difference. And never forget, Vietnam was scary, and so many did not come home(in so many ways). Our country(government) does not take care of us veterans the way it should.

Mr. Donohue don't know if you will see this, but name is Mike Elliott. I'm a retired Detective with the NYPD. I am also a Marine. I dropped out of HS to join the Corps. I don't know if you know my Dad, Gene Elliott also a Marine at 17 he lived at 616 W.204th st in Inwood. I was told he was a friend of yours from the neiborhood. If you ever see this, could you please respond to me, I'd like to find all I can about my Dad. I think he also hung out Son Sullivan. If you can get a hold of me that would be great. Semper fi! Marine!

Now this is a Real Friend! I actually saw 2 guys from my graduation class from high school in the same small fire base in Vietnam in 1969. Can you imagine? We only had 56 guys and 71 girls in that class and 3 guys are in the Marine Corps there at the same time!

Only learned about this a few days ago from a video by Simple History and it mentions the movie. I wasted no time and found it on Apple TV+ and watched it. Great movie.

This heartwarming story is too unreal to not be true. It shows the true meaning of friendship. God bless you Mr. Donohue! As a combat vet i can appreciate the insanity of war and the meaning of what it means to have friends.
