  • OK, its been awhile since I visited with you but let me add my choice. I would say that Bob Hope ranks right up there. He supported our men and women in uniform giving his time to them to take their minds off the problems and give them pleasure. A man who celebrated Christmas with his family during the summer because he was was out with the troops at Christmas. He gave unconditional support to our men and women in uniform. He was careful to never criticize.

    The only time you bow down to someone is when you bend over to help them up!

    Very good choice, Chisum. As a retired GI, I naturally thought old Bob was the greatest for his dedication to the military. Although he was UK-born, I'd definitely vote for him as one of the greatest Americans.


    Another great Britisher who was an honorary American at least was Winston Churchill.
