The Gulf War bares the distinction as the last conflict that would feature a USO show by the incredible and legendary entertainer, Bob Hope. We will step back even further in time to capture the essence of this man as he entertains our fighting men in World War 2, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War. It really is a historical moment we were able to capture on film and therefore here for our podcast.
Then we look back over the events as they unfolded in December 1990, as the world edges closer to War in the Middle East.
