"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

We've lost a national treasure in Bob Hope. How many entertainers can say they have a Navy ship named after them?
Rest well, Bob; your place in Heaven is most definitely assured.

I loved his old material, particularly his pre-Road films and his old radio material.

Christmas, 1990, King Fahd International Airport, Saudi Arabia. I was there, and so were Bob and his wife. They were a ray of hope and laughter in a dark and gloomy time. Thanks, Bob, and heartfelt sympathies, Mrs Hope.

He is definatly a natural treasure . . . and thus why we have a USNS named after him, a medal . . . and many other plaques and busts memoralizing him. It is truly a sad day. May we all remember all the smiles, and laughter he gave to our servicemen and women through out the years. We are forever in his debt, and owe him our undying graditude.
