Sam Whiting: Doris ‘Dr. Lucki’ Allen, Army intelligence analyst who warned of the Vietnam Tet Offensive, dies at 97

"Army intelligence specialist Doris “Lucki” Allen found out from her network of sources that the Tet Offensive was coming, and even knew the date. So she filed a report from her Saigon office and waited for officers to take defensive measures.

She was still waiting when 50,000 enemy troops representing the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong forces mounted an attack exactly as she had warned, during the lunar New Year holiday at the end of January 1968."

Spent the afternoon at the Wall That Heals - a 2/3 scale replica on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall that’s in Hilo this week. Very moving. So many local folks on that wall. They were so young. Some barely 20 years old. Broke my heart. So glad I came.
