Tribute to Bob Hope, San Diego, CA

Thanks for the Memories. Overlooking the San Diego Bay in the shadow of the carrier USS Enterprise this national tribute to Bob Hope and the thousands of troops that he entertained in his 50 years of USO tours is a cheery and solemn reminder of the sacrifice of our veterans. Created by artists Eugene Daub & Steven Whyte it is located on Harbor Drive at the G Street Mole. The waterside park also pays tribute to the World War II Paratrooper 101^st Division Screaming Eagles, 45^th Infantry of the Korean War, the Gulf War Soldier in Desert Storm and Air Force Staff Sergeant, the Korean War Sailor and Marine, World War II Fighter Pilot, Navy Pilot Lieutenant and Marine Corps Sergeant, Vietnam War Artilleryman and Air Force Mechanic, and the Vietnam War Navy Medic and WW II Army Nurse. I was fortunate enough to also see Unconditional Surrender" -- the giant statue of a World War II sailor kissing a nurse that sits at the entrance of the park.
