Great job honoring a man who contributed so much. I'm glad you got to visit his grave and I was so touched that you placed a flag. He truly was a patriot and we need more like him.
In 1973, I saw John Wayne cry. He was following John Ford’s casket out the door of Blessed Sacrament Church in Hollywood. When I saw him crying, I lost it. I was 16.
There are two contenders for the best scene in a John Wayne movie: in North to Alaska, when his toupee falls off during a fistfight, and in The Green Berets, when the sun sets in the east.
I did not know about the bum shoulder and hearing issue. I'm glad I learned that today. they're still many people out there that though he was cowardly for not joining military and this goes a long way to clearing up that misconception.
I’ve only seen True Grit and The Man Who Shot LV. Loved them both. His TG beats the remake by a bit. I’ve seen his son Ethan on Pawn Stars as an expert. I was 10 when he died.
Let's see, he was 35 years old, had 4 children and had a bum shoulder. He was turned down from the Navy in the early 30s because of his shoulder. He was also asked to help support the services in recruiting and visiting the troops.

The Duke was a true American and the best actor ever. What a true American man should strive to be. My hero. 😊

I can see that. Thank you. 🙏 Loved your comment.
A nice tribute for a true American. Thanks.
Thank you! 😊
YAY! You two are back. Made my day
Love anything John Wayne. Was an honor for me to visit his grave many years ago. Such an amazing man
It was really cool to be there

That is funny!!! Neither are the best though.
The Duke was and still is a true Patriot.
💯
I love the movie the quiet man
Us too…one of our favorites!
It is one of my favorites also. I also liked True Grit where he won his only Oscar.
We have a whole video on that one. 😊

Glad we could help clear that up! 😊
It's always nice to know I lived at the same time as JW. Even if it was for just under two months.

He has so many good movies! We have a Top 10 JW Movies video if you want a place to start. 😂
Great video I have many favorites but as a Vietnam veteran I like his Green Beret the best.
