James “Chickie” Donohue recounts this remarkable story of his youth. At age twenty six, this merchant seaman from an Irish neighborhood in the Bronx took it upon himself to travel to South Vietnam at the height of war in order to bring beer and well wishes from family and neighbors to a handful of young men in active wartime service. This “zany” saga is recounted in print and film as “The Greatest Beer Run Ever”.
