arthur's life. while i was in vietnam i realized that if i went home as i was scheduled that arthur would be subject to going to vietnam. because of families in the second world war losing all surviving sons the military came out with a rule that there would never be brothers in combat at the same time. so did the paperwork and i got a second tour. soon after that arthur was coming over to vietnam on a uso tour with the davis cup team.

soon after that arthur was coming over to vietnam on a uso tour with the davis cup team. they were at camp and they got live fire. they were getting shot at. >> we walked into the hospital and it was a really, really horrific scene. wounded soldiers. missing arms and legs. and arthur just was so taken back that he literally ran outside of the hospital. he said, i was scared to the point of defecation. that sort of brought it home. and it caused me to realize that i had done the right thing at the right time for the right reason. ♪

"Dear Bob": Bob Hope's correspondence with GIs at war

"Dear Bob": Bob Hope's correspondence with GIs at war
In the 1940s, Bob Hope was already one of America's brightest stars. But to Linda Hope, he was just "Dad." So, what was it like to have Bob Hope as a dad? "Well, pretty spectacular, I have to say," she said. "It was never dull! But he was always on the go. I mean, that's what I remember most of all."
Indeed he was. At the time, Hope had a hit "Road" movie series with his old pal Bing Crosby, a top-rated radio program, and a packed personal appearance schedule.
