VETERANS DAY : CAN'T HELP THINKING ABOUT BOB and DOLORES HOPE

It's Veterans Day and as you know I am proud to be a veteran myself and proud that my brothers and father also served - so many of my ancestors did - even in the Civil War.


I can't help but think about Bob and Dolores Hope and their work to entertain the veterans. Bob passed at age 100 in 2003 and last year Dolores celebrated her 100th birthday.


Bob Hope put countless hours into shows that entertained our service men around the globe that he was by an act of Congress given THE FIRST "HONORARY VETERAN" AWARD!

We're linking to VETERANS ADVANTAGE which has an article on Bob and has some background on his entertaining the troops.
