Reagan and Wayne were two giants. Only Heston is up there with them, or perhaps Clint Eastwood - "Go ahead, make my day".
Excellent post!
Based on your remark; I have the following comments. You are an immature person who belongs on the Dark Side at DU. I'd imagine your IQ couldn't make the three figure quotient.
Heston...I agree.

Unforgettable John Wayne {by Ronald Reagan}
We must have been on the same wavelength!
Only a personal friend could make such a "joke" You were not a personal friend, and people here didnt take it as a joke. Your the type to kick a guy in the balls and say.... " geez what's got into him, it was just a joke"
He!!, I get a little cross when dressing once in a while, especially if it's a black suit affair.
The above sounds like something someone on this forum would say.
Wayne is my all time personal favorite Hollywood star. This piece was written by my all time favorite president.
Both men are American heroes.
BUMP!
Is this true? The Left always insists Wayne was some sort of draft dodger.
The economist Arthur Laffer recalls that shortly after the US invasion of Grenada in 1983, he met Reagan at a conference. He told Reagan that the newspapers had reported that the administration had gone back and forth on whether to go with the invasion. Laffer asked: "What made you finally decide to do it?" Reagan said, "Well, Art, finally I asked myself, what would John Wayne have done?"

Brian Hyland's admiration for the nation's 40th president is on display at his downtown Fredericksburg restaurant.
A painting hanging on the wall at J. Brian's on Hanover Street depicts Ronald Reagan standing at its bar with Frank Sinatra, John Wayne and Hyland's father, Brian Hyland Sr., who died last year.
The famous trio never got together there--or anywhere else--but it was a fantasy of father and son, Hyland said yesterday.

APPLAUSE !
But now he's incommunicado
Leavin' such a hole in a world that believed
That a life with such bravado
Was takin' the right way home.
