High Praise For Veterans
"Believe me when I say that laughter up at the front lines is a very precious thing - precious to those grand guys who are giving and taking the awful business that goes on there... There's a lump the size of Grant's Tomb in your throat when they come up to you and shake your hand and mumble 'Thanks'. Imagine those guys thanking me! Look what they're doin' for me. And for you." ~ Bob Hope, 1944
This was high, humbled praise from a top-tier entertainer who performed in more USO shows to entertain troops than any other celebrity ever. Thank you, veterans! We all owe you BIG TIME.
(If you don't know who Bob Hope was, look him up on YouTube. His Christmas specials were a staple of American t.v. programming in the 1970's & 1980's. He also made movies & was on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson several times.)
