TOM, I have an idea, as most tv stations have local web sites go on them and e-mail one of the news or station directors and say, hey, why don't ask the local vets to send a message to Bob Hope like they let the vets of today do to the loved ones back home, that are stationed over seas but instead, send it to the station in Bob Hopes home town, form all the vets.. Just a thought... Paul 68-69
