A wonderful look at some special moments Bob spent with the troops during his many Christmas performances. Bob Hope was without a doubt one of the greatest entertainers of all time. 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.

That is an awesome Share, Lt Col Charlie Brown!!! I would always take the time to watch Bob Hope's Christmas shows to the troops... An amazing man dedicated to helping his fellow men and women who were in harms way during war... May he Rest in Peace...

I was tasked with bringing 5 troops back from FSB Iron 1 for the Hope show Christmas 1969. Arriving at 3rd Brigade headquarters, I saw these 5 massive players and exclaimed out loud to nobody in particular, “Why aren’t they in uniform with us?” That created a S**tstorm and @$$ chewing from a REMF higher up. In their defense they didn’t have to be there. But in my mind, such magnificent physical specimens could best be used in the Big Red One. I didn’t get to see the show as I was sent back to Fire Support Base.Iron 1.
