I was doing some research on a case and ran across her story more than once.\u00a0 There might be one or two youngsters that remember\u00a0“A Date With Chris”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chris Noel was a Hollywood sex symbol who became a Vietnam War icon. She was a model who turned actress – who then turned to entertaining the troops in Vietnam. Noel worked on the Armed Forces Radio And Television Service. Her program “A Date With Chris” made her fondly known by vets as “the voice of a California dream girl” by many Viet vets – while her pin up pics were very popular with the troops.<\/p>\n

Noel entertained four tours of Vietnam and her helicopter was shot down twice.\u00a0 For her work, she received the Distinguished Vietnam Veteran award in 1984 from the Veterans Network.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It seems to me that she gave up the better part of an acting career to support the fighting men in Vietnam.\u00a0 \u00a0She has a remarkable story to tell.\u00a0 She has a selfless courage that is all too rare.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For those of you that might have known her you can walk down memory lane\u00a0 HERE.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
