    It's so hard to believe that almost 3 out of every 4 of those guys are now dead according to government statistics. I'm 73 and am lucky enough to still remember my two years there 66-68. Miss my brothers in arms. Just an old Marine with many memories.

    On
    Christmas Eve Myself and 3 other Instructors with our Dogs were sent over to Long Binh to clear the Ampitherather for Midnight Mass and then were told that we had to be back to clear it out again for the Bob Hope Show. We slept on the stage that night and cleared the area and were sitting on the stage when Bob Hope came over to us. He could not believe that we did that for him and his troupe. He put 2 of us with our dogs right up front and had them bring us water for our dogs and food for us. He then told his Cameraman to make sure that they got our pictures. When he came out He told the crowd about us sleeping there all night. You can see us at 2:42 of the show. I am the one with the White German Shepard Queenie. I told my family back home that they may see me on the Bob Hope Special. My Family told everyone to watch for me. Sure enough Mr Hope kept his promise. Mr Hope and all the people involved in all of his special Thank You SGT. James Sharp Dog Training Detachment Mine Dog Instructor 1970 Bien Hoa Vietnam

We had no idea we'd be going until minutes before the choppers arrived. A TV camera tower on the left side partially blocked our view of the stage.

The runway separated the Air Force base from the Marine base. I climbed on top of my revetment with my binoculars and looked across the runway to the Marine compound. about a mile away. I was able to see the lit up stage where Bob was, unfortunately they looked like ants. after reading some comments it seems this was 1971 not 1970.

      Linda, I just ran across your question and I can assure you not all the G.I.'s were against the war. I was an Air Force G.I. stationed in Ubon, Thailand. I saw Mr. Hope in 1967 while stationed there. Stayed up all night just to get a good seat. By far the best live show I ever saw. We also had a lady by the name of Chris Noel who did a radio program on AFRTS for the troops each afternoon. We looked forward to hearing Chris. She is still working with the VETS today.

      Linda Oliver I can understand this. I can assure you that the young fellows who were called on at that time, were impacted greatly. If you ask them, they will tell you a day doesn't go by that they don't think about it. JB
