We repsectfully request that The President of The United States favorably consider, endorse and award the Presidential Medal Of Freedom to Miss Chris Noel. Miss Noel has served her country, as a civilian, with honor and distinction. Some Facts to substantiate this petition:
1) Chris Noel was a disk jockey for Armed Forces Radio (Good Morning Vietnam) in Saigon and her show was very popular with the soldiers, it was called, "A Date With Chris". Before she volunteered to go to Vietnam, as a cicilian, she was a movie star and up and coming entertainer. Chris, voluntarily, did four tours of Vietnam. She also saw a lot of nasty stuff on her tour of forward bases. To this day she suffers from PTSD and many veterans consider her a fellow "combat" veteran and hero. PTSD stands for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. When you are exposed to life threatening situations, loss of friends in battle or the ugliness of war it can impact sensitive people. Most often they suffer from nightmares, flashbacks, and other disorders.
2) Twice Chris Noel's helicopter was shot down in Vietnam while traveling to line units to perform singing and entertaining for the troops.
3) Chris Noel was considered so popular and influential for troop morale, in fact, that the Viet Cong placed a $10,000 bounty on her head.
4) Chris Noel is still giving to the Veterans. She runs Vetsville Cease Fire House, a shelter for homeless vets in Florida.
5) Chris still suffers from flashbacks, migraines and stress disorders following her Vietnam mission.
Chris Noel highly deserves this long over due recognition from our Government for her service, support and dedication to the Armed Forces.

- this is one person who helped all of us Viet Nam vets during the good and bad times. She has well earned what ever hightest award possible because she was there putting her life on the line for us vets.She has seen what the vets went thur and was in harms way a buch of times and never backed down.The War that she was in was one of the worst in the history of our Great nation.She serveed 4 tours over ther and went thur hell for us. She is the only person other than Bob Hope that I know of that really deserves this award. It is so ungratefull of our nation to have not give her this award way befor now.She was one of us even thoe she was never enlisted. She served her country and her fellow vets with the hightest honor of all. She gave us herself. She is still fighting for the vets and suffers from what most of us suffur from PTSD. She lives this war today as she did then. This nation would be very ungratefull to one of the greatsest heros of the Viet Nam War. Thank You Chris

- Not only did Chris visit and support the troops in Viet Nam but she also traveled to many other parts of the world, adding her support and charm to everyone she met. I had the good fortune of being her escort when she visited Osan AB in Korea. What a lovely lady, who never once complained unless it was for someone else. This is a very deserving Lady.
