Bob Hope First-Class commemorative stamp

One of the nation’s most revered entertainers and humanitarians was immortalized by the Postal Service when it dedicated the 44-cent Bob Hope First-Class commemorative stamp on the flight deck of the USS Midway, where “G.I. Bob” twice entertained service men and women during his nearly six-decade commitment to boosting military morale. Hope’s daughter, Linda, and his son Kelly joined U.S. Postal Service Pacific Area Vice President Michael J. Daley in dedicating the stamp on what would have been Hope’s 106th birthday.

I didn’t have the chance or luck to see Bob while I was in Viet Nam but I am always grateful for men like him. Thank you Bob Hope!
