Tribute to Bob Hope

Secretary Colin L. Powell
Washington, DC
July 28, 2003

Bob Hope was a friend to every American GI for over 50 years. I watched him perform in Vietnam in 1968 and became his friend in later years, to include even doing a skit with him on stage. There was no one who served his nation more faithfully and with greater dedication in both war and peace. He will be greatly missed.
