Troops came from far and wide
| Description: | Francis Langford sings.
As they did during World War II, the USO Camp Shows performed
thousands of times for battle-weary troops in Korea and for wounded
GIs in the evacuation hospitals in Japan. During 1952 and 1953,
not a single day went by without a USO show taking place somewhere
in Korea. Stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Jack Benny, Errol Flynn,
Danny Kaye, Al Jolson, Robert Merrill, Rory Calhoun, Mickey Rooney,
Piper Laurie, Debbie Reynolds, Marilyn Maxwell, Frances Langford
and, of course, Bob Hope, were among the many who brought solace
and comfort to the troops. SOURCE |
