Oral history of Caroline Dawson
Clemson University Libraries. Special Collections and Archives A video recording of an in-person interview conducted by Lindsay Odom with Caroline Dawson on November 16, 2015. Born on March 3, 1921, Dawson served in the American Red Cross from 1943 to 1944, working in hospital recreation at Camp Butner, NC.
Growing up during the Great Depression, she experienced a close-knit community that supported one another through hardship. After college, she felt compelled to contribute to the war effort and was recruited into the Red Cross, training in Washington, D.C. at American University. She describes her daily responsibilities coordinating activities for wounded and recovering soldiers, including leading games, showing films, and organizing crafts. She recalls the segregated hospital wards, meeting boxer Joe Louis who visited the hospital to boost morale, and the importance of small comforts, such as Red Cross Christmas packages for the troops.

Oral history of John Allen
Clemson University Libraries. Special Collections and Archives A video recording of an in-person interview conducted by Anna Hickey with Brigadier General John Allen on November 9, 2012, in Seneca, SC. Born on October 17, 1935, John Allen served in the United States Air Force, flying strategic bomber missions during the Cold War and Vietnam War. He talks about his extensive flight training and career progression, which led to his role as a bomber pilot.
Brigadier General Allen reflects on his time standing alert in bombers on nuclear missions, three tours in Vietnam, and flying bombing missions, including Operation Linebacker I and II. Beyond combat, he discusses his later role in military planning and logistics at the Pentagon, his post-retirement transition to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) consulting and serving as a prominent advocate for military funding.
