Thank you!

His Congressional Gold Medal simply says "John Wayne - American" that says it all!

At one time when John Wayne was still alive, he seemed passe. People made fun of him as being archaic but really he represented decency and strength. Even before 9-11 I we began watching him with a new kind of respect and we thought, "What was wrong with us when we were young to think this man was so bad. He wasn't." Even Richard Pryor liked John Wayne and wanted to meet him. That's how broad his appeal was in the 70's at the same time people were making fun of him.

LOL!

Thanks for that picture of my hero!

I had the great pleasure of talking with Wayne twice in Mexico when he was filming there. He was as pleasant and natural as he seemed in his films. He looked like and was a truly nice guy, a man's man for sure.
