Bob Hope was without a doubt one of the greatest entertainers of all time. A wonderful look at some special moments Bob spent with the troops during his many Christmas performances. Thank You to all the Veterans that ever spent a Christmas away from their family and to Bob Hope for spending his Christmas with the troops.

Getting away from the Chtistmasy stuff or a second. This is for all my fellow veterans and/or history buffs. (Everbody else will enjoy it too I'm sure.) During WWII, Warner Brothers produced a series of training cartoons for the troops, Originally created by Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Phil Eastman, using all their best animators, writers, etc. (Mel Blanc!) These were essentially adult (language mostly but some cheesecake too) cartoons as they were meant exclusively for the troops. They dealt with various aspects of Army/military life and hostile situations. I've watched a few at the Internet archives, but while reviewing one (Booby Traps) I thought ,"why not see if they are on youtube". Lo and behold, yes they are! I highly recommend the "Private SNAFU" series to all veterans especially but please, even if not a veteran do yourself a favor and see why these cartoons have become legendary. Here's the one that got me started on this overly long introduction.
