She was one of the most popular celebrities to ever make a USO tour.  Their knowledge of her as an individual and of her great hit "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" inspired a lot of lonely GIs to hike out of the boonies to get to the performance area.  Needless to say, most of them rekindled the love that they already had for her.

It was another joy for me to appear with her in an episode of "China Beach."  When the producers called to find out if I was available for the show, they asked me which girl singer I would recommend.  My immediate answer was "Nancy Sinatra," and I am delighted she was able to do the program.

A Vietnamese set was constructed near Malibu, and I must tell you, both Nancy and I said, "Wow, this is so real," and "this is such an eerie feeling."  When we weren't shooting, we sat around and reminisced about spending time with the troops in Vietnam.  I think most of the day was spent with tears in our eyes-some out of frustration for what we had seen over there-and others for the joy of having had the experience.
Please give Nancy my best and tell her that I join all the Vietnam Vets in sending our love and deepest gratitude!  She is a classy lady and one who will never be forgotten by this very appreciative audience.
