The Bob Hope Video clip I posted yesterday was very well received with many comments..., so I bring you another spectacular show from Long Binh, Vietnam from 1970! I found this one to be an exceptional Show... Let me know what you think in a short comment!
Here is the video description:
"Bob Hope brings his USO Christmas tour to Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Midway, and aboard the USS Hancock and the USS New Jersey in the South China Sea. Dick Albers does his comic trampoline act, Bob Hope and former professional football player Rosey Grier trade barbs, and the Golddiggers dance on deck for the crews of two passing destroyers. At Okinawa, a skydiver parachutes into the audience and Ann-Margret exhorts members of the different services to stand up during her performance. Bob does mail call for the troops—inviting one service member (whose mother says he’s a good singer) to perform—and Gen. Creighton Abrams thanks the entire cast and crew for coming to Vietnam.
Starring Hope, Dick Albers, Ann-Margret, Linda Bennett, Rosey Grier, Miss World Penny Plummer, The Golddiggers, Honey Ltd., Les Brown and His Band of Renown."
I hope you all enjoy it!!!

Long time in country. I was lucky. Our squad put our names in a steel pot and only half got to go.

It seems like you brought a little bit of home to the troops at that time that needed a taste of home
