What a difference between "stars" then and "stars" now.

Fair skies, Bob!
As he's the only civilian to ever be given honorary Veteran status, I'd say he deserves a place in Arlington too.

I think of my life and how lucky I am to have seen all that has happened in my lifetime. This man saw all of the 20th century. Think about that. And to do all that he has done. What a great life he lived.

I Mr. Hope.  For all he did for the military, he deserves his own memorial at Arlington.

Back then, 50% or more of our population were immigrants.

mini beat me to it. By presidential decree Bob Hope is a veteran and eligible for Arlington.

My guess is he'd rather be buried under the 18th at Pebble Beach though.

Considering we're two totally different generations......and that so did I (plus most others here I think)........that's really quite incredible.  

What a guy.

No one person did more and asked for less. Thanks for the memories, Bob!

Fair winds, and fair skies (not to mention fair greens) Mr. Hope.
