Thanks Richard Arambula for sharing this with me. I remember growing up in Korea and one Christmas when we went to church, Bob was sitting right in front of me. He turned around and wished me a Merry Christmas. Blew my socks off for sure. I saw a couple of his shows there and got to meet Ann Margaret who became my first love!! Great memories for sure.
This was a great e-mail. It makes me thankful that we are old
enough to have lived in the time of Bob Hope.
Bob Hope was without a doubt one of the greatest entertainers of all time. A wonderful look at some special moments Bob spent with the troops during his many Christmas performances. What a classic entertainer he was and I’m sure that anyone that ever saw him perform live will never forget the show. Thank You to all the Veterans that ever spent a Christmas away from their family and to Bob Hope for spending his Christmas with the troops.

Thank You Tom, I needed that…
I was in the Navy during Vietnam and Bob did a show on the Air Craft Carrier I was on..
USS Ranger…
I did not see the show as I had duty as a Signalman when the show was scheduled…
Good news was, a few of the showgirls after the show were allowed to come on the
bridge, myself and others on duty got to chat…That was the best…
Tks again..
