WWII Heroes, Family of Late Bob Hope Dedicate Port of San Diego Military Artwork
Bob Hope, the beloved figure who serenaded millions of men and women in the Armed Forced for more than five decades with his signature song, "Thanks for the Memories," is still making memories. His latest came July 8, 2009, at the dedication of a military artwork: “A National Salute to Bob Hope and the Military,” which includes a bronze sculpture of the famed entertainer and 15 bronze figures representing the branches of the military. The event was made possible by the Port of San Diego, the Hope family and members of a Navy task force called Taffy 3 (Task Unit 77.4.3), a group of World War II veterans who helped raise the $1.5 million for the project.
