Welcome Home, Vietnam Veterans. You are my heroes. Thank you for your service. I'm sorry you were put through such BS and treated so horribly. God bless you. All gave some, some gave all. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for that. I never understood why we were so hated by our own people when their hate should have been projected to those who ran away to Canada instead of doing their duty.
Bob was one of a kind. He cared about the country and the troops and it showed. The closest thing we had for my generation was Robin Williams. I saw him in Iraq over Christmas 2007.
I was there at the Christmas Show in Long Binh in 1967. We really got a kick out of Bob Hope's jokes, but we got even more of a kick out of looking at all of those beautiful young women like Raquel Welch, Barbara McNair and Miss World Madeline Hartog-Bel, who he brought along to cheer us up.
Ann margret did a few shows for uso She could have talked elvis into joining her as he was an ex soldier but parker was the Problem elvis was under his control and didn't have the Courage to cross him!
Our country should always be thankful for Bob Hope and the other celebrities who also offered their time and appreciation to go to Vietnam. Most of all of course, our country should be so thankful for all those who served and those who died in Vietnam. 🇺🇲
A few of us from our Company (A, 1/26th Inf, 1st ID) were to go to the show, but somehow we were off the list and back in the field on patrol out near to the Cambodian Border. So close yet so far.
We were told that Hope was bringing a show to Chu Lai, XMas 68'. I was A CO 1/6th Infantry 198th LIB. The rumor was that one man from the platoon would be able to go to the show. I didn't make it. Got blown away in October. Went home on a stretcher.
I was in one of Bob Hope show in Ben Hoa in 68. Let me tell you his Jokes were so dry and corny , I just didn't get it. He was Not a funny guy at all. The Girls were Hot all right. His antic with that stupid Golf club was so stupid. Frankly I don't see any humor in this man at all. I heard James Brown gave a better show then Hope.
