HOW TO MISS A
BOB HOPE SHOW IN TWO EASY LESSONSIt
was Christmas time in Vietnam, and, of course, the perennial favorite was on hand--Bob Hope--that is, if you could find him.As was everyone else, SP4 Frederick Hypes, of
Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, was hoping to see the annual Christmas Show. Trouble is the locations and times for the show was harder to find out than trying to reach a Long Binh number on a Class C phone.Giving up the quest, he took a leave to Thailand to visit his brother stationed a couple hundred miles north of Bangkok. It was a warm reunion but as they talked, his brother, who had been in country only one week interrupted him and said, "Oh Fred, you'll never guess what happened yesterday. I got to see the Bob Hope Show!"

DON'T HAVE TO BANG UP THE BIRD
Though
Headquarters and Headquarters Troop lacks some of

REDHORSE REVIEW
12 January 1969
(Though the New Year's Day has already come and passed,
the following message from Colonel John C. Hughes, Commanding Officer, 12th aviation Group (Combat)
still contains an important guideline to follow no matter what the season of the
year.)
"As 1969 draws to a close, and we prepare to
celebrate the New Year, let us realize the significance of the coming year to
the Vietnamese people. The past year has brought about a decided turn in events
through our successful operations against Communist Forces. The new year
brings new hope, and renewed effort
by the Vietnamese people in ending their long struggle against Communist
aggression and restoring a long sought after lasting peace to this country. He
has made great progress, yet there is much to be done. Let us bend to the task
with renewed faith in our cause and renewed hope that the day is not far distant
when mankind will achieve "peace on earth. I
offer my warmest personal wishes for you all in the coming year
and with duty done, a safe return to your loved ones."
