************************
Colonel Maggie – Nurse, Entertainer, and Honorary Green Beret
Almost everyone knows about all of Bob Hope’s trips to Vietnam. He
would do his annual Christmas Shows for TV, which were recorded live at some of
the safest bases in Vietnam, while surrounded by TV cameras, reporters and lots
of tanks and protective armed troops. I was at his Christmas Day show back in
1966, just north of Saigon. I enjoyed it very much. It was one of a few good
memories that I have of my Tour of Duty. But, meeting Martha Raye –
better known to the troops, as Colonel Maggie – was the
highlight event of the year for me.
The real deal, she was... :)
