It must feel good to be appreciated. Hope we can meet again soon at a film fair, or someplace. While I'm not a veteran... Thanks for your service. Ivan Tribe Hi Chris:

No others were crazy enough to come out to the hot spots were were in, Well there was one person who was crazy enough and brave enough it was Chris I served in III Corps with the U.S. Army Big Red One with the 1st/4th Calvary. It was some time late in 1967. We had been out for a month or more and were hot, dirty, disgusted and busting our rears daily chasing Charlie down. I was coming in from a late afternoon patrol and here sat this gorgeous round eye on the running board of a Deuce and 1/2 Truck. She was wearing white Go Go boots and and nice short skirt. I immediately said to her Darling what are you doing out here? You are going to get yourself killed. She laughed and said baby I am here to sing you guys some songs , The perimeter was small, we moved every 3 days or so to prevent Charlie from getting us bracketed in. So were were close together. We were a hit and run group. It was deep in the jungle. We had maybe a Company of Infantry tops, one platoon of Calvary Tanks & APC's ( 10 armored track total) and several batteries of artillery which were 105's and 8 inch guns Chris had a hand held megaphone and a Vet playing a guitar and she sang to us and made us laugh for maybe a hour. I know not a guy there will ever forget her. I took many pictures of her and before Chris left she gave us all a hug before she jumped back onto the Chopper to visit her next group of young Vets like myself. I was 20 and the old man on our APC. I met here again in 2002 in New Orleans at a Big Red One Reunion, She was as sweet as ever. I told her about the photos I had taken of her and she said "I sure wish I could see them" I said well Darling come on down to the CP the 1/4 Cav has set up in the hotel. In a flash she was there and asked to make copies of the photo's and of course she signed several for me. Chris is a fantastic lady. A true American Patroit. She also works very hard and runs a home for homeless Veterans in Florida, We are lucky to have such a caring Movie Star that took some big chances to come out in the boonies to make all of us smile and laugh before we got back to the war.

I do have a question. What was the name of the song Chris used to sign off the air. It was a instrumental, I can hum it but that doesn't work here. By the way I did 2 tours as a Commo soldier.

It gave us a little time to forget about our work and remember "the world" !

Politics aside, the typical GI was doing the job they were called to do and we are grateful for people like Chris Noel who put her career on hold to give us the support we needed. I don't see anyone condeming Bob Hope for doing the very same thing. God Bless you, Chris. Chris Noel was an amazing person who lifted the spirits of every GI in Vietnam.
