"Together, they brought (countless) hours of laughter and cheer to Americans everywhere," said friend Nancy Reagan.
Hope gave up her singing career to raise the couple's four (adopted) children before joining her husband on his troop tours.

In 1990, she was the only female (entertainer) to perform in Saudi Arabia when she sang for troops taking part in Operation Desert Storm.
