LAST CHRISTMAS SHOW ON THIS DAY IN 1972
Comedian Bob Hope gave his last Christmas show to U.S.
servicemen in Saigon on this day in history, Dec. 24, 1972.
The iconic entertainer, who starred in more than 50 films,
kept up a tradition of visiting troops deployed overseas
since WWII.
Hope’s 1972 show marked his ninth consecutive Christmas
appearance in Vietnam, according to History.com.
On December 24, 1972, Bob Hope delivered a live Christmas show to American soldiers stationed in Vietnam. The show,
held at the Bien Hoa Air Base, was a festive event attended
by thousands of servicemen.
Leslie Townes "Bob" Hope
(May 29, 1903 – July 27, 2003)
