Bob Hope's Christmas Special. 1965-66 Vietnam USO Tour.

Bob Hope's Christmas shows during the Vietnam War brought entertainment and laughter
to our troops from gusts Phyllis Diller, Joey Heatherton, Anita Bryant, Miss World and Les
Brown and His Band of Renown. Shows from Danang and Saigon were highlights of this
tour. Also included during the Vietnam tour were visits on board the USS Franklin Delano
Roosevelt and the USS Bennington.

Hope’s holiday salute to the troops became an instant favorite with television audiences.
The 1965 special won an Emmy Award and is still ranked among the 15 highest-rated
television programs to date. Bob Hope will always be remembered for his dedication to the
armed forces. Back in 1941 he began the custom of traveling the world to uplift the spirit of
American troops stationed over seas. This custom became tradition the Christmas of ‘48
when Bob, with wife Dolores, flew to Europe to entertain Americans involved with the
Berlin airlift.
Always at the top of his game on the road, his devotion endured through the sixties and
seventies, when American Troops were deployed to Vietnam. Hope’s most memorable
moments as he performed for the troops from 1965-66.
