1964 Christmas Show	1964, Bien Hoa, Vietnam. On Christmas Eve, just before Hope and his USO troupe were to arrive at the Brinks Hotel, a disguised Viet Cong truck with 300 pounds of TNT exploded, blowing out the hotel walls. Hope was delayed because his cue-card man, Barney McNulty, was late getting the cards off the plane. A Viet Cong document found later indicated that Hope was the target of the attack. Hope's opening gag at his next show: "I want to thank you for your welcome to Saigon. As I came into town, I saw a hotel go the other way."  http://www.usatoday.com/life/2003-05-28-bob-main_x.htm
