Da Nang to Chu Lai: The Start of a Legendary USO Tour
About This Footage
Archival footage of Bob Hope’s 1967 Christmas tour captures the humor, music, and morale that defined his USO legacy. Volume 1 follows Hope’s performances in Da Nang, Pleiku, and Chu Lai, where he entertained thousands of troops alongside Raquel Welch, Barbara McNair, Les Brown and His Band of Renown, and Miss World Madeleine Hartog-Bel. The show blended laughter and song amid the harsh realities of the Vietnam War, offering a brief but meaningful respite for American service members.
