GREG MAY of Orlando, FL says: "Bob Hope should have written a song for Jayne Mansfield, "Thanks For The Mammaries".

My grandfather, Brigadier General Cecil P. Lessig, was commander of the 41st Air Division. He flew Mr. Hope either to or from Guam for this trip. He, my grandmother, mother and aunt saw this show. Amazing experience!

Thank God for Bob Hope and all he did for the troops and all Americans.  His dedication to them was like a love a Mother gives a child, everlasting no matter what. My Dad saw him in Thailand and Guam in the 60's. Think about it...all the times he spent with the troops, he spent away from his family back home.....that's love and dedication. Thank you..
