Bob Hope is gone, but the show goes on

March

The late comedian Bob Hope will always be remembered by veterans for his wildly popular USO shows that brought the troops a little glimpse of home while they were far, far away.

This generation of soldiers won’t see Bob, but according to this story in the Stars & Stripes, troops in Kuwait are getting a visit from Jessica Simpson, the Pussycat Dolls and other contemporary performers in a show that’s sponsored by MySpace website, which will webcast it live.

Did any of you who served in Vietnam, Korea or other overseas hot spots ever get a chance to see Bob Hope or any of the other USO shows? I remember watching one of the Vietnam Christmas specials on TV with my brothers and sisters, while my mom kept telling us to “look for daddy, look for daddy.’’

We never did pick him out from all the GIs in the crowd shots, but a few weeks later my Dad mentioned in a letter that he’d seen Bob Hope.

What do you remember about the shows you saw?
