I was on that show as a trumpeter with the USAF Band. One of the highlights of 20 years of service. Bob Hope is amazing and his support for the military was inspiring. Also having the opportunity to have a meaningful conversation with Danny Thomas was memorable.
I was born, raised and served in the US Navy. I never met Bob Hope. But, every time I see this, I shed tears for what he did for all who served this country for generations. Hard to watch this each time since my glasses get messed up.
BOB HOPE I salute you for all the intertwining our troops. past present and future salute you for all you have done for them. My husband always in his own way Thanked you for everything you have done for them.God Bless you
I wish I could have seen him live. *Luciano* *Pavarotti* is one of those lovable opera singers he's the kind of person that you wish you could hug and one you will cry to during his singing I have listened to him many times and everytime I do I get chills down my spine and I always feel like i'm going to cry Nessun Doma is my favorite song of his and I wish that one day when I die I will meet him in the opera house singing like never before. *Luciano* *Pavarotti* *Oct.* *12* *1935* ~ *Sept.* *6* *2007*
I believe even if I would be receiving an honor that night, I would have known it was really Bob's night. Hard act to follow if he was not honored last.
Only reason President Trump never attended was because the "honorees" said they would not attend if he did. You people need to get your facts straight.

God bless you and for your service
A perfect tribute to One of the best. The Kennedy Center is one of the best tributes ever.
Found this video. Thanks for the memory, Bob, for being there in January 1971, Sattahip, Thailand.
Thanks for the memories, Mr. HOPE...

In Vietnam the only hope we had was Bob hope
Still can’t believe he grew up in Cleveland!!! 🥰
Kirk Douglas, the speaker introducing Bob Hope, just died in February 2020 at age 103.
Actually, he was 103.
Bob was a National Treasure

Back when they honored artists instead of celebrities.
Tell us all, who has been honored that is on your disapproval list? Inquiring minds want to explore yours.
@@cmcm1908 how do you know how hard many of these people work?
Bob Hope next to the Reagans and starting with Kirk Douglas.
WOW
True American hero and legend
Thank You for this, wish I could find the tribute to Danny Kay
I believe even if I would be receiving an honor that night, I would have known it was really Bob's night. Hard act to follow if he was not honored last.
Nandito na po ako. Nasipa ko na ang kampana at nag-iwan na din ako ng bakas. Hihintayin ko po yung para sa akin. Thank you in advance.
there is a Part two on this channel. A tribute by former men and women in service.

A True legend Bob Hope
I'm one of the sailors on stage!
He should also have received THE FIRST Mark Twain Prize. Never got one. What a joke!
I keep looking for the 1991 honors to Lillian Gish but it doesn't pop up. Is it not available?
I believe not. All I'm seeing are Oscar and AFI tributes
@@madmanmania7171 I've seen a ton of Kennedy Center Honors for certain stars. I would think Lillian's tribute would be out there as well. Too bad!
She was honored in 1981!
@@arthurgearheard4701 thanks! I'll do some more searching.
Where's the sound?
I finally got the sound; thank you so much for posting this. Is there a Part 2?
Part 2 !!

Actually, I thought that Laurel and Hardy was the best Comic Team in Film history!
NO SOUND!!

Chevy Chase once said he didn't find ever Hope funny, so this is odd!
trump refused to host this 2 years in a row because he said it was too elitist...
Trump is the king of elitism. One of his greatest accomplishments as president is making the people who voted for him think otherwise.
Well trump is an asshole.
If Trump had hosted this prestigious annual tribute, most of the honorees would have refused to attend the event. (Speaks volumes.)
Only reason President Trump never attended was because the "honorees" said they would not attend if he did. You people need to get your facts straight.
