I was the C-130 pilot flying Bob Hope and his 1965 Christmas show in Thailand. I have a photo of that Aussie F-86 that flew our wing into Ubon. Bob and all of performers signed the crew manifest and hangs on my wall. That 2 days flying him and his show was a wonderful experience.
I have been trying to find or buy the one Bob Hope did at Camp Eagle in Vietnam 1969/ If any one knows where I can find it let me know. Glenn Scarborough
I was working K-9 security for the Bob Hope show At Ubon in 1971. Front row seats..great duty. I still have a few photos of the event. Don Nabors, Vida Blue etc. They closed the show with "Ill be home for Christmas" which was wierd since we were not going home and there was no snow. Great show nonethrleess.
Amazing. This was near the beginning of the war, I was in the NAVY at the time and then I turned the lights out of the Viet Nam war in 1975 From UDORN, Thailand. Buck SGT. C. File 432 OMS
Great video!! A GREAT part of history. Taken during the same time as mine on the USS Ticonderoga CVA-14. December 1965. Thanks for uploading it on youtube.
WOW what a great video, before my time but my father was station in Ubon, Thailand. My respect to all the troops base all over the world and to Bob Hope and the USO for doing such a great job. Thank you:)
I love videos like this where people actually respect our troops and realize what a job they have/had to do.
Most people I run in to now of days seem to hate the troops and think they are idiots.
I wish more people respected the troops like Bob Hope did.
It's just sad in my opinion, even though I'm only 20, completely understand who Bob Hope was but most young seem to never know or even care who he was and he's such an important figure that I think everyone should learn about.
