Because of his lifelong support of American servicemen and women.

Bob Hope never served as governor and did not have a regular active‑duty military career in WWII; he was honored because of decades of USO tours and other efforts boosting troop morale from WWII through Vietnam and beyond, making him an enduring symbol of support for the armed forces.
