Bob Hope Christmas

[Sybil Ludington]

A wonderful look at some special moments Bob spent with the troops during his many Christmas performances. Bob Hope was without a doubt one of the greatest entertainers of all time. What a classic entertainer he was and I’m sure that anyone that ever saw him perform live will never forget the show. Thank You to all the Veterans that ever spent a Christmas away from their family and to Bob Hope for spending his Christmas with the troops.

Great vid!

I am so glad that I was able to see Bob Hope perform in person. He was appearing at the opening of an arts center in 1988, and he'd invited local military - I was stationed in Long Beach at the time - to come see the show. He must have done about an hour and a half, including singing two song medleys - one of many of the songs he'd performed in his various movies, and one featuring songs about each one of the fifty states. His speaking and singing voice were as good they'd always been, and he was 85 years old at the time. There were some pretty corny old jokes sprinkled throughout the show, but we all laughed like we'd never heard them before...because it was Bob Hope telling them to us.

Thank you for your service.
