One November night in 1967 John "Chick" Donahue was at a local bar in Inwood New York City. A superpatriotic bartender, George "Colonel" Lynch was unhappy that the antiwar protest had turned into anti-soldier. He believed the narrative was demoralizing their boys overseas and wanted to borrow a Seaman's Card from Chickie so he could sail off to the war zone and bring their neighborhood boys a drink and words of encouragement. Chick couldn't just let "the Colonel" borrow his ID card so he volunteered.
Sounds unbelievable and I wouldn't believe anyone would risks his life doing this. Chickie did! What a journey.
