Wow. Saw him (and Raquel) in 67 at both Saigon and Danang. Could also have made it to Long Binh, don't remember why I passed. Probably work related. Anyway, tens of thousands of Americans loved her to death, YT included.Christmas 1967, we jumped into trucks for a 30 mile trip to Long Bin, for the Bob Hope XMas show. Headlining was a young actress by the name of Raquel Welch.
Although most of us barely knew who she was, the noise was deafening when she took the stage.
Thanks to Miss Welch for helping to make Christmas a long way from home for a bunch of GIs a little easier.
