Bob Hope

Bob Hope will be honored with a 44-cent postage stamp Friday in ceremonies aboard the USS Midway in San Diego.

Hope made two appearances aboard the Midway in a career launched in the 1930s and including military shows from World War II to the Persian Gulf. He died in 2003 at age 100. His widow, Dolores Hope, celebrated her 100th birthday Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

The post office has printed 100 million stamps featuring Hope and they are on sale nationwide.

Hope starred on stage, radio, television and film for more than seven decades and was the first person recognized by Congress as an honorary veteran of the United States Armed Forces, even though he never officially served in the military.
