I Was Treated Like a Queen
As a young woman looking for a new job and some excitement, Vonny Rohloff signed up to work as a civilian with the Special Services. She was stations in Phuoc Vinh and later Soc Trang, providing recreation like BINGO to enlisted men in the US Army. Though it was sometimes difficult, she felt useful and enjoyed her time.
What are the odds--being a single woman with thousands of men around... everyone treated me so well.
Vonny's story was captured with the help of TPT's Minnesota Remembers Vietnam team.
