1968, Bob Hope, at Phu Cat Airbase. He brought the Gold Diggers and Raquel Welch. As we were grunts and came in by Hueys, the resident Air Force got all the good seats....... I do have a picture somewhere of Bob and Raquel standing together....... from 1/4 mile away on a 1/2 frame Nikon. She is just a flash of red....... never could make anything out.

Toby Keith visited our FOB, Brassfield-Mora in 2005, was a pretty cool show.

Robin Williams with Leanne tweeden in 2004. Redskins cheerleaders, Tito Ortiz, and there were more that I can't think of.
Aaron Tipton, the Redskins cheerleaders, Ron White (I think), and Trace Adkins!

On Christmas 2003, Robin Williams and some other folks visited Bahrain. Angelina Jolie visited the Victory Base Complex twice while I was there - once as UNHCR rep and the other as a celebrity. The cast of "The Unit" also visited and I was on their flight out (C-130) to Kuwait. Got a picture of my co-worker with them (she was a *huge* fan!)

No one. But then again, I did volunteer for submarine service, so I guess I got what I expected.

Kidd Rock is the only one I saw, many others came by but I was always busy with Convoys. Even President Bush for Thanksgiving. The side of BIAP was closed off and we had Turkey Loaf.
