I attended one of Hopes shows back in 1952 or thereabouts.

Hope and cast were enroute to Japan/Korea lost engine at base I was at and had to remain overnight.

Hope told the CO open base theater and we will give impromptu show tonight. Word spread and the place had SRO. He told them, NO OFFICERS SITTING IN FRONT ROW SEATS.

ALL OF US JUST WANTED TO GO HOME.

And that's all that you kids wanted in every base that he visited.

We the children of the "Great Depression" fought WWII and Korea.

Some fought both. On lonely nights I visit grave sites of my brother and comrades via the internet.
