Sitting here thinking about the old days and the Bob Hope specials. Miss you Bob and thank you for the memories.

Wonderful! I was a crewmember onboard Midway for one of his USO visits. Crystal Gayle came aboard. She was great.

How wonderful her girls are and her too.

Greats seen again...and a glimpse of the USS Okinawa (LPH-3). WESTPAC cruise 1977-1978 Australia included.

[@TVrabbitears]

Great to see (even with poor quality old VCR tape) this program. See :30 - 1:10 shows the magnitude of the ship I was on. Even Bob Hope mentioned it's size. It (1/3) the size of the USS Enterprise Aircraft-carrier, I made a visual note of this when we were next to it in the PI.

I sat front row for the daytime show. Charlie company 1st battalion 5th marines.

I remember this like it was yesterday. I enjoyed the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders though. Barbara Eden (I Dream of Genie) was cool.

The Goo goo dolls put up a show on the USS JFK in 2000 .Berthing compartment was so quiet and was alone sleeping

Love Connie Stevens... wow her daughter Joely Fisher has a strong voice...

[@larrygregory5992]

I remember I'm standing there at 1:07 Right in in middle of camera.

[@jonboxleitner7354]

Good times. Nowadays Hollywood types are tripping over themselves to see who can hate on America the most. Thankful for these entertainers and the days of the USS Okinawa.

[@jonboxleitner7354]

@Jimmy Jazz I was on the USS Okinawa in 1985.

[@johnpopo8440]

Connie is a true blue supporter of our troops!! Love her!!

[@brainmcmanus5748]

Never thought Hope was funny. Berthing compartment was empty and quiet, I slept soundly thru the whole show.
