Great video of Bob's Hopes Christmas Show 1965, entertaining the troops during the Vietnam War.

did not see udorn,but Phang Rang viet nam,korat,thakli,ubon,udataphao,and some Army camps,it was a great mix of shows.

Bob Hope played Udorn RTAFB in '66 or '67. My wife worked on the base during that time and was able to attend his show. She loved it and he was always one of her favorite entertainers. I don't remember him doing a show at the base during the years that I was in the Udon area ('68-69 and mid '70 to Feb '74).

WhiskeyBravo -Bob Hope performed at Udorn RTAFB Christmas 1972. I was there and have several photos (black & white) of same. I walked across the runway to the main base side to see it. The show was fantastic! Miss World, Lola Falana etc. weren't bad either

Lima Uniform,
I didn't remember that. I know that I didn't make it to the show. I was working a few Ks out of town at the time and wouldn't have been able to get off work for it. Cheers.

I saw Bob Hope's show in Dec. 1966. I was working at a comm site across from the O Club at the time (civvy defense contractor) and my boss let us off to watch the show. By the time we got there the best seats were taken so sat near the rear close to the flightline. Highlights of the show, even after all these years, were Bob Hope on stage with his golf club (an iron?) and Joey Heatherton. She was fantastic. Thanks for the memories.

Lima Uniform and Whiskeybravo, eh? My comm handle as a Tech Controller was Running Bear.

I never got to see his USO shows but I do want to say he did awful lot for the troops in harms way
we will never have another like him when the good Lord made him he broke the mold. I know in my heart if he was alive today he would be entertaining the troops in both Iraq & Afghanistan
