Beloved comedian Bob Hope entertained our troops overseas for several decades

In honor of those brave, selfless patriots, our troops, who have been killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan… song by the United States Air Force Band.

This video is a powerful reminder of the valor and devotion of our courageous men and women who are serving overseas in the war zones. Those who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for their country, willing to do what it takes to keep our nation’s citizens safe. America has not forgotten you.

Saying “thank you” doesn’t seem to say enough. But, I’ll say it nonetheless. Thank you, thank you so much for all you do in the name of freedom.

Produced for Batavia Cares, a support organization for the military.
