Bob Hope's comedy was classic and he was a real patriot, entertaining the troops for so many years.
I never got an opportunity to see him when I was in Tay Nihn and Song Be with the 1st Cav, 70-71.

Some carry on the tradition ala Gary Sinise.

I saw both Bob Hope and Joey Heatherton live, although not in Vietnam. Bob Hope was a great patriot and an extremely funny man. As for Joey Heatherton, I was young enough that I don’t think I could focus on a single word she said.

I caught part of the ‘67 show in Cu Chi standing on the back of an APC, looking over the fence after coming in off the road.
Nothing like half dressed round eyes.

Hundreds of miles of hand dug tunnels in Chu Chi were used by the Viet Cong during the war with thousands of Viet Cong and their sympathizers living in them.
Makes you wonder how many were entertained unknowingly at the USO shows.
