In November 1967, ex-Marine John "Chickie" Donohue realized that some of his friends serving in Vietnam needed a morale boost. He decided to travel 8,000 miles to the war-torn country, sneaking in to bring them some ice-cold beers. U.S. Marine Kevin McLoone was driving a jeep through An Khe during the height of the Vietnam War in late 1967 when he was astonished to see someone familiar. It was none other than John Donohue, a friend from his old neighborhood in New York, standing by the side of the road, attempting to flag down a ride. What made it even stranger was that Donohue was wearing civilian clothes and carrying a duffel bag full of beer. Donohue then informed McLoone that he had made an 8,000-mile journey from New York to Vietnam specifically to locate his friends and uplift their spirits with some cold brews. McLoone, taken aback by the situation, responded, "That's a hell of a beer run."
