and of all our combat troops then anyone I can think of. I remember as a child watching his USO shows, from Vietnam. His USO tours began in WWII, and he was still entertaining our troops during Desert Storm!I feel, confident in saying he has probably logged more combat time then any four star general! He was nearly killed on many many occasions! Granted, he may not be technically able,.....but for what he, and so many other brave entertainers did for my Father, and Uncles, and all our troops, makes him pretty terrific in my opinion!

He may not have made the world go round....but for countless millions, he sure made it a nicer place to live.
