Because of his lifelong support of American servicemen and women.

Bob Hope never served on active duty in WWII and he was not governor of California. He was honored because for decades — starting in WWII and continuing through Korea, Vietnam and later conflicts — he regularly entertained U.S. troops on USO tours, becoming an iconic supporter of the military.
