(2002)Overview
When the United States entered World War II, President Roosevelt exempted Bob Hope from military service because of the need for entertainers.

When the USO (United Service Organizations) was formed, Bob Hope was the perfect person to be its headliner, bringing "a bit of home" to front lines and military hospitals around the world.
