Raquel Welch was one of the most fervent supporters of American troops fighting in Vietnam amongst Hollywood celebrities. Rather than simply be vocal in her support, she went along with Bob Hope on his 1967 USO trip where she’d do whatever she could to give the men a little taste of home – she even cut a rug with a few soldiers.
During the shows in Saigon Welch performed solo, she danced, and she even took part in a comedy duo with Bob Hope where she added a little flavor to his performance. She was a performer that the boys definitely looked forward to.
