The Greatest Beer Run Ever: A Memoir of Friendship, Loyalty and War by John "Chick" Donohue and J.T. Molloy.
One night in 1967, 26 year old John Donohue-known as Chick- was out with friends, drinking in a New York city bar. The friends gathered there had lost loved ones in Vietnam.

Someone should sneak into Vietman, track down their buddies there, give them messages of support from back home, and share a few beers. It would be the Greatest Beer Run Ever. But who would be crazy enough to do It? One man was up for the challenge - a Marine Corps veteran turned merchant mariner who wasn't about to desert his buddies on the front lines when they needed him. Chick volunteered.
