I remember Bob Hope doing those USO tours for the troops in Vietnam.
Ann Margaret was a big part of those shows. She still loves “her men”. The ones she entertained there.

I vaguely recall at one show Bob called a certain service member on stage. Bob said to the guy “I happen to know your wife recently had a baby. How anxious are you to get home to see your wife and baby?” The soldier stammered and almost broke down trying to tell how much he missed his wife and wanted to see his child for the first time. Bob stopped him and said “son, turn around and tell her that.”
The kids wife and baby were on the side of the stage.
Water works began.
Standing Ovation.

Thanks for the memories Bob.
