Bob Hope Christmas Eve At The Front 1943 

Stari Night - I totally agree with you. when life becomes a little too hard, I can always count on Bob Hope to cheer me up. 😊

I’ve shared the wonders of Old Time Radio with my wife - and if she outlives me, I bet these old shows will give her comfort!

I've thought the same thing many times.

Hi Stari Night, I am looking back to some greats of old before hosting a Christmas broadcast tomorrow night 6:30 pm Arizona time kvan.fm I can't guarantee the host will light up the special but I am sure at least the live music will. Talias Van's Bright and Morning Star Choir and Orchestra will follow the Youth Choir which opens. Blessings.

I wasn't born when they had these radio shows but it seems like I was there

Agree! And no one ever will, in my lifetime!

Wow! You father lived an interesting life. Thanks for your family's service. Bet he had some great stories to tell.

Hi There Ladysensei!! Your pop and mine might’ve fought together!! My dad was also a Marine but in a intel unit attached to the the second division. Fought at tarawa, Saipan, Ron Namur and Titian. He’s actually the very same Harry A. Jackson that speaks at the 38 min mark in this clip!!! Someone just sent this to me randomly tonight. He was an incredible artist and had an incredible life but I never knew about this little episode. If you want to see some of his vast body of work check out the insta I run for him @harryjacksoninstitute!!!

@@lukejackson4964 Bless your Father and the brave Boys and Men alike who put their lives on the line to save our wonderful country. I am glad that they are not here in 2021 to see the evil which seems to be the new normal. If they were still of the age that they were in 1943, they would be absolutely livid at the election fraud perpetrated by the Scumbag Democrats which ended in the theft of our Presidency and the false Impeachment of the greatest president since George Washington.I believe that they would have fought and died to right this wrong.

Thank you for sharing.

Was he Joe Pinkston ? He was a Yankee in SC going back to WWII days and was on South Carolina Public Radio still into the 1980s " playing old records" and he had thousands of followers including me.

+alitlweird I'm a 1954 Baby Boomer. My dad enlisted December 8, 1941, my mom wrapped bandages with the Red Cross. I grew up with music of the Big Band era wafting thru the house, the great film classics checked out from the library and I still tear up when I hear "I'll be Seeing You" especially when sung by Frances Langford!

30s & 40s America is the epitome of class and elegance.

alitlweird Indeed.

alitlweird agreed

Justin Harris I was born in 1960, but believe i was around in the 40's i love everything about them!! :-)

The air is cold with early, chill, dark nights...the time for ghost stories and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, GOD BLESS

@@dotdominy230 No thanks are necessary, it was my duty and a privilege as a United States citizen to serve my country. I enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps and served my incurred service time all six years on active duty. wldrylie SSgt USMC 1970 - 1976 active duty.

I agree with all except injecting HW Bush (#41) in that generation. Guy was a certifiable Globalist piece of shit, while parading around like he was a Patriotic American.

Bush served his country honorably and you have no right to question his service

@@raydematio7585 - I reserve the right to question any and all public servants. I also reserve the right to make a FACTUAL STATEMENT. Now, you are a fanboy and believe whatever you want, but for me FACTS will guide my thoughts. I'll bet you also think Ronald Reagan was a great conservative leader too?

@@woodyhayes7402 gee, i wonder why Gen Patton at the end of the war said we were fighting the wrong enemy? o. go down to the local mall and see what he was talking about.

@@nickrossi217 - Yah, I get what you're saying, but what you see at the local mall is a by-product of the Globalist/Central Bankers who I think Patton was really referring to.

radiotv 950 Sounds great! Good times!

You’re not wrong but I bet your grandfather thought “people never talk anymore they just sit around and listen to the damn radio!”

agree.. they are so connected, that they are disconnected . Blessings to you.

Thanks for listening to it on the channel Michele.

agree 100%!!!!!

Think that gets most people!

Think a lot of us missed it.

Ditto

Unlike the craziness going on now! ha! Thanks so much for listening!

Great! Have tons of Bob Hope on my channel!

Hope many more to come! Thanks for listening.

OTR HALLOWEENHOLIDAZE no problem! First listened to this broadcast last Christmas on a foggy night in concord in a car driving. I stopped having family Christmas’s a long time ago. This broadcast helped me feel a bit of what those Americans felt oh so long ago and I hope listening to these old broadcasts can keep their legacy alive.

@@viciousrage5548 People always have more interesting stories of how the listen to these shows that I do. Thanks for sharing.

They don't remember the words but they remember the shows and hearing them during the Christmas season. Many many discussions with my Mom, aged 90, about all this. 11 years old, almost 12, when this broadcast came out and we haven't discussed this particular broadcast but a. living in Detroit, " the Arsenal of Democracy" , and b. three young uncles in the Service, over the Oceans, she has given us a ton of real life history from this time. The things people whine and sob about or advocate for, today , are almost criminally trivial compared to real life and real things back then, really not long ago at all if you knew your parents and grandparents.

Tell Grampa Munster Hello from Detroit !

Amen!!!

No Problem! Have many more!

Go away miserable idiot

I am disappointed that you annoy people with this stupid depressing message. Please do us all a favour and go away.

@@raydematio7585 agreed

Oh, I thought “Go away miserable idiot” referred to the poor substitute for presidential leadership in the White House today. FDR he isn’t.

America these days needs to stop voting in democrats communist shit.

It's a shame! Thanks for listening!

Stephen Michaels Ya think?

"A Dictator and mass murder of his own people, (starting with Russia's most experienced and successful Military officers, political rivals, church officials, businessmen ) and then Anyone, man woman or child, who stood in his way. Enslaver of millions who found themselves under his control after the war, he gave back nothing he ever got his mitts on without milking the life out of it first. One more of one to many who were allowed to die in a warm bed at an old age." A Russian who became a citizen of the U.S. (the good old fashioned legal way) when I was a teenager told me a lot of things you won't find in any history books published in the U.S. in the last 30 years.

He was a piece of shit and so is Trump

@@jacksontroy6742 another fu3ken Dummikrate

Don’t tell us what to do you are a petty little person who is missing the point of these comments and bringing negative energy to this post mind your own business

Lora P, Another example of one LONG sentence.

@@listeningeyes9990 GFY. How was that?

Think they said it was only one or two that day!

What the fuck is wrong with you fool?

You should be made to go away and sit in a dark cave somewhere talking to yourself so you don't annoy other people

Because he’s not a good American?🤣
