I just watched this today. The uniquely beautiful Raquel Welch passed away two days ago.

(Thanks for the memory); lady asks Bob and man with a cane to remove a bat that flew into her flat. They enter the flat. Man with cane; "so where's this bat?" Lady; "I don't know." Man with cane to Bob; Ok, where would you hide if you were a bat? Bob Hope; "You're thinking of a horse!" 😂😂😂❤🤣🤣🫡

Thank you for your service.

Glad you made it home. Thank you for your service.

Thank you for being there for all of us Larry.

Thanks for all you did...

Hi Larry, Merry Christmas!2021 🎄

Glad you got back. I turned 21 in Phu Cat in 1971.

Absolutely, Bob Hope, not John Wayne, is America, unselfishness and caring.

And Hope made the Oscars a great annual party for 17 years. After him, it flopped.

Wrong I would have to say John Wayne and Elvis first them Mr hope.​@@markross2124

Thank You For Your Service 🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖

What a great link between your family’s services!

an amazing guy, I have just rediscovered him, miss him

@@amalHope3 Yeah, but Bob put on a good show for the troops

I never got to see Bob Hope, always in the jungle.

Oh Lord... I Agree!

Agreed. Hope's entertaining was a valuable service to those in theatres of war. His generation understood on a deep level the responsibilty to serve society. Morale is crucial to those that are defending principles such as freedom, especially when they are risking their futures and their lives.

Ha! I just said the same thing..Thought Bob Hope was a bit corny..but shame on me..the man did so much for our troops...Sad to hear of Raquel Welchs passing today...Was great to see how much joy she brought to our soldiers as well ..RIP Raquel Welch🙏🏻🌈

Same!☝🏻 (Also Raquel Welch passed away two days ago 😞)

Was up north also. Wish I'd been able to see the show. But thank him for making the guys smile for a little bit.

Amen to That!!!

Wow, your Mother was so young. I'm sorry for the loss at such a young age for you as well. {I see it's been 2yrs since this post, we're (🇺🇲) still fighting strong for our country.}

Sorry for you loss.

👍🇺🇸

omg really?

Wow! What a lovely extra special treasure...and memory!

And with any luck n hope.. The jab of Life

Here...Bob Hope was the best!

Merry Christmas and God bless.

Hello I think President Lyndon B. Johnson got America involved in the Vietnam War. Richard Nixon wanted to end it. Had JFK not been killed, the Vietnam War would not have escalated the way it did.

I remember getting my draft card in the mail back in '72. I was 17. Scared to death I was going to have to go. (I miss the days when Americans actually talked and interacted with one another, before social media. But yet, here I am on s.m. today!)

Thank you for defending our country.

His house in Palm Springs is fabulous

If you was in combat didn’t you have more chances of getting killed.Brave men.

James, thank you for your fine service to our country.

Know who got a raw deal? The people of Vietnam. 2 million dead. Compare that to the 58 thousand or so Americans who were used as cannon fodder in a useless, stupid war and re-evaluate your foolish notions about the war protecting America. The only thing being protected was Lyndon, and Richard Nixon's ego.

Hello Bob Hope, all the Soldiers, the guest traveling 😀 with show. How 🤔 ❓ 🤔 ❓ exciting to be with These beautiful 😍 ❤ entertainers donating their Time to be with these brave, dedicated solders.

@Ron Roast Thank you. A bit young to be stolen to "serve", (serve what? we did not know), but you see reality better than the guy who started this thread, (He got good grades in college I am sure). If we do not know we are fighting for the philosophies of individual liberty that created the USA exceptionally, than we have no idea what we were really fighting for. Thank God for Ann Rand. It is actually traceable that she ended the draft, (free people should not have their kids scooped up for war against their will, not freedom), with a friend of hers as an advisor for Nixon. I do thank you though man for your patriotism, (and glad you are here to tell a bit of your story, still living). I just wish we had patriots as your bosses. I think those patriots died after WW2.

@Ron Roast Not exactly, the years long effort definitely slowed the communist movement throughout the wider region, keeping countries like Thailand and Indonesia largely free of it. Whether that was worth the price is another question, but it definitely did have that effect.

@@brucemacmillan7128 Yes, but so much depends on outcome; if it had been all over in 6 months as the planners thought, we would all be lauding the effort today and remarking what a great and prescient decision it was.

He didnt need to- deployed plenty!

Born in England

@@pfflyer3381 yep he was but did he get american citizens ship

I loved watching his specials! My brother, Dave did two tours around this time

Yea. Hollywood Studio's & Big Pharma / Networks profits had nothing at all to do with nothing. One thing never changes. How damn stupid people are

Thank you and your father for your service.

I was there too age 12

I was there at the,Naval Com base,at Finegayan. 20 years,old

The men who served in Vietnam were Baby Boomers,

You all are Patriots in my eyes, and includes the USO Entertainment, including, my Lord, Raquel Welch.

😂 @jlizano20 (Road to Hong-Kong) Hope, Crosby and a woman land on another planet on their 🚀. They start fighting over who gets the woman. Woman shouts; "Surely there must be SOME solution to this!" Crosby; "tell ya what, We'll both have her, I'll have her Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays." Bob Hope; "and I'll have her Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays." Woman; "and what about Sundays?" Bob Hope; "On Sundays we rest." 🤣🫡

I'm with you brother. I hit the 70 mark last Sep on Fri the 13th. Can't be that bad bc I'm still around hearing about Mick Jagger just having baby #8 and he's older than dirt. Feel about 50. No major issues. Had 28 Corvettes so far and hope to end the collection with at least 30. That started just before I got drafted with a 63 Split Window Coupe which I had to sell in a hurry bc LBJ would not take over the payments. Promptly got another SWC in 68 with my chump change Army savings when I got back to the world. It will all end soon but the memories will last forever via KZfaq et al. That was a good show and life has been a good show. Now it's someone else's turn at all this.

thank you for your service.

We thank you John. It was either that or flee to Canada.

Jon, I had no money to go to Canada, so I did my duty..lol.. it was ok.

LBJ sent me "Greetings for Induction" but he failed to pick up my monthly payment on my SWC Corvette which had to become a quick forced-sale. I made up for it on the other end. My best buddy was not lucky either. He was 1st Cav Infantry KIA one month after in-country. They named a park after him in MA. Never lived to have a family. Sad!

Love that story

Wow!!! You are so lucky!! Meet Bob Hope....

Kids

Thank you, Dee. Semper Fi. An Hoa River Basin/Arizona Territory. Vietnam 69-71.

Too young and dumb to have learned about fear. perfect for the job

Historically the working class and poor have fought wars for the wealthy and powerful. They lined their pockets while the young gave their lifes

Average age - 19.

@Time4Truth yeah right! Go back to reading the NANCY Pelosi and Bernie Sanders book on hate america communist liberal manifesto.

@Joe Lev Sadly he's burning in Satan's pit. He was a womanizer in real life! I never knew that! Sin is real.

@@OikPoinFive omg ! Harsh . You don't know if he's in hell of not ! What are you God ? 🤬 I think not ! Judge not lest you be judged !! 😐 Keep that in mind and remember David in the Bible ? Oh ya Yes the man After God's own heart ... He had an affair and God forgave him . So God forgives ... It's called Mercy. God bless your 'lil heart 🧡

Lived all

Here's to my Jr HS buddy Francis (Frank) Schmautz from MA. Ran into him at Ft Hood TX at a base bar joint and still remember a Bob Dylan tune on the jukebox. I was training with the 135th Assault Helicopter Company and the full company went over on C130's from TX. Frank, my best early school buddy in Washington DC enlisted in the Army and went Infantry. He was KIA just one month after in-country. They named a city park after him in Worcester MA.

Jon Bryan, no one has walked in your shoes, but I want to tell you how much I appreciate everything you stood for and that of your dear friend, Frank Schmautz. Glad to know you returned home safely.

Jon Bryan God bless you and your buddies who served our country. You are brave warriors!

3.5 million Vietnamese dead - USA number 1 -

@@georgiahughes6404 Yes, and still is.

🎶thanks for the mammories🎵

BACK THEN THE ENTERTAINMENT LOVED AMERICA AND BELIEVED IN ITS CAUSE, TODAY??? THEY ARE ALL DRUG ADDICTED AND HATE THE COUNTRY AND BELIEVE IN SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM AND GIVE COMFORT TO AMERICAS ENEMY. ITS A SHAME AT HOW FAR WE HAVE FALLEN AS A NATION THAT WE ARE LEANING TOWARDS WHAT WE WERE FIGHTING AGAINST BACK THEN.

Yes,sir!

Amen
