Thank you. Welcome to The Untold Story Podcast. I'm Martha McCallum, and it is great to have Tim Gray with us this afternoon, the World

War II Foundation President.

He has done over 38 documentaries about World War II, won regional

Emmys for those documentaries. And we have had the good, I've had the good fortune to cross

past with Tim a number of times in our work covering World War II and Known Valor and the Normandy

anniversaries at the 75th and the 80th. So, Tim, it's always good to see. Welcome.

It's great to be back. Thank you for being here. So tell me, this subject is something I think that

everybody, you know, reminisces about and loves. And the title of this documentary is Miles,

Morale, and Memories, Bob Hope and World War II.

What made you want to do this subject?

I think this year being the 80th anniversary, the end of World War II,

we were looking for a variety of subjects to tackle this year.

And some are horrific and some aren't.

We wanted to look at the importance of laughter in war, especially in World War II.

And when you think of laughter in World War II, you think of Bob Hope first.

And it was really incredible to dive into this and just learn all the things that Bob Hope did during that time that went above and beyond just entertaining the troops.
