Agreed. I don't need to agree with his politics to enjoy his entertainment.

And, I respect the fact that he put his money where his mouth is, by going overseas to entertain the troops.

Bob Hope stands heads above other comedians and he was the best when it came to serving our troops with his comedy and wit!

Robin, I’ma let you finish but “Bob Hope stands heads above other comedians and he was the best when it came to serving our troops with his comedy and wit!”

You left out a part.

He even wished a troop “Merry Christmas” and shook his hand towards the end.

I never found him funny at all, at any time in his career. Just my opinion. But then again there very few comedians who don’t just irritate and annoy me.

Everything you wrote was true.

He was however, one of the biggest supporters of our troops and the USO. He was often the first to go out and support them.

His politics aside, he was a great funny man and we owe him thanks for supporting our troops in ways you and I could not.

My grandfather, even some 70 years later, talked fondly about seeing Bob Hope perform in a bombed out airplane hangar in Regensburg, Germany towards the end of the war. It was a bright light for him, in a pretty dismal time.

'Tis why I donate to the USO, and why entertainers who are a part of the USO have my respect.
