Hamilton remembers Christmas in Rangoon with a visit from the infamous
"Bob Hope" and his group. All off duty Marines went to the

He will be remembered by the American serviceman for his

abroad, especially us who served in Vietnam. Jim is trying to dig up
some photos of Bob's visit to Rangoon. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE
HIM!
