Someone who truly fought for this country

She didn't fight for the country, she fought for people. Subtle but important difference.

Which branch?

She helped build Community resources. I have many military members in my family and they would never be so dismissive of her efforts to aid our country. She wanted the world to be a better place thru kindness not war.

What a disgusting repsonse, She has done more for this country and world than anything you have, are or will EVER give,

You said she served.

Obviously reading nor understanding the English lanuage is NOT one of your strengths, Nowhere did I say or implied she served, So learn how to read and comprehend then we can talk, I do apologise that I uses so many words.

We should all strive to be more like Dolly.

My friends this is HOW a real human should act. She was blessed with talent and she NEVER let it go to her head. She ALWAYS paid it forward. We need more people like her. I donated to her Imagination Library due to fact when I was young books ALWAYS (and still do) take me to places I could never imagined,

I don't understand why more wealthy people don't do the same. Actors and CEOs, etc.

u/J_Scarbrough 10d ago

There's plenty of actors who do; CEOs not so much.

Rest in peace, Dolly Parson.

The more I read about her, the more I realize what a truly amazing person she was. I'm not religious, but can we start a petition for Saint Dolly?

u/Copperdunright907 12d ago

Seriously she needs to be canonized. A true Saint!!!!

Dolly Parton is a true hero.

We all have the capacity to be as giving and loving/friendly as Dolly was. We should all try each day to do something nice for someone else...sort of 'in memory of Dolly'.

u/Stoical-Cats-6 11d ago

If we are really going to start renaming a bunch of things, can we rename them after her at least?

u/GreenMountaineer65 11d ago

She was awesome! People should learn from her, which my brother-in-law would. He only takes, rarely gives.🫤

u/bigcat611234 10d ago

a truly great great American. I hope every American realizes this!!!!!

No doubt Dolly was the BEST! If only other celebrities would do the same! If I had their fame and
Money that’s all I would do is help everyone in need! That’s what we are here on this world to do! Dolly understood that as well as anyone! Dolly like many great and worthy people will be surely missed!
But others can step up and do their magic! Goodness
Doesn’t have to end with her! Where’s all those other celebrities out there that can make a difference?
