Bien Hoa to Tan Son Nhut: The Tour Expands South
About This Footage
Volume 2 continues Bob Hope’s 1967 USO Christmas tour through southern Vietnam, where he performed for thousands of American service members stationed near Bien Hoa, Long Binh, and Tan Son Nhut. The show features lively musical numbers from Barbara McNair and Les Brown’s orchestra, comedic sketches, and appearances by Raquel Welch. These rare color scenes illustrate the large-scale logistics and heartfelt spirit behind one of the most ambitious morale-boosting efforts of the Vietnam War.
