As a young girl during WWII, I remember the USO and heard my uncles, and mother and dad's cousins talk about the shows in England and somewhere in the Pacific on a ship. (Letters never told where they were exactly) News reels would have segments of shows to show how USO lifted the morale of our men and women. The Andrews Sisters were my favorites. <br /><br />Wish I had some of the pictures Vickie's dad took. What memories!<br /><br />I like the old movie Holiday Inn, the original Bing Crosby White Christmas movie. I have White Christmas on our DVR and watch it every year.Martha W.

I'm pretty sure one is of Bob Hope. He had hundreds of pictures, but he gave most of them away. I wish we had them now. It's amazing how stars of such caliber supported the USO>Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-52291686509856186012016-07-26T11:33:46.233-04:002016-07-26T11:33:46.233-04:00Wow, that is an impressive list of supporters of t...Wow, that is an impressive list of supporters of the USO.
