The legend of Bob Hope entertaining American GI’s started in May of 1941 when the country was at peace. When World War WII broke, Bob Hope, with a band of “Hollywood gypsies,” took off for Europe, North Africa, and the South Pacific – wherever our men and women in uniform were training or fighting. Throughout the war, all of Bob’s weekly radio shows were preformed before GI audiences. The tradition of spending Christmas with troops began in 1948 when Bob, with his wife Dolores, flew to Europe to entertain Americans involved with the Berlin airlift, and continued to entertain them each Christmas through Desert Storm in 1990. Among Bob’s most cherished memories are these holidays he shared with our troops in Vietnam.
