Bob Hope’s NBC radio special “Soldiers in Greasepaint” broadcast on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1943. A salute to millions of brave Americans who were spending Thanksgiving a long way from home seven decades ago.
By the time of World War II Hope was 38 and too old to likely be assigned to a combat area. He got around that by spending much of his time during the War entertaining troops in combat zones, occasionally coming under fire. Hope’s genius as a comedian was a rare gift; a willingness to spend it entertaining American troops was a worthy way of using that gift.
Thanks for these. What a loving, giving man Bob Hope was!
Why are you accepting ads from, and promoting, on this otherwise fabulous website, the pro-abortion companies Hilton Hotels (which donates to Planned Parenthood) and from General Mills, which donates a minimum of $1million per year to Susan G Komen Race for the Cure – which we all know donates millions to Planned Parenthood?
These are google ads. We have no control over them. The ads that show up are based on searches from the computer that logs in to the site. I make zero from any ad revenue, the revenue being used solely to maintain the site. Any further questions should be directed to Tito since I have absolutely no involvement with the ads that appear on TAC.
