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.

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.
