General Schwartzkopf introduces Bob Hope to the troops. He was quoted as saying "that there is no 'morale' problem"

This is a actual view of what I saw from where I was standing.

 

A view of the crowds there to see Bob Hope and the USO show "live".The crowd was packed so tight that people stood on vehicles to see. The segment taped at Eskan was later broadcasted on national television around Christmas.

Joining Bob Hope on the USO tour to Eskan is Delore Hope, his wife who sang for us and Johnny Bench, professional Baseball player and Aaron Tippin, Country Music singer (not pictured)
