If there's one thing I've learned from asking readers to send in stories about John Wayne, it's this: people really loved the guy.
Even if they didn't know him personally, many speak of brief encounters with his gentle ways and humorous personality as if they're talking about somebody they've known for years.
The Duke turns 100 years old Saturday, so we thought we'd celebrate with our very own birthday card.

John Wayne. American.

JUST DAMN!! All my favorite actors are dead and dying. Jimmy Stewart, Don Knotts, John Wayne. It’s time to break out the bourbon and drink a toast.

The Quiet man, one of my favorite movies. The scenery alone should be a movie..
"Did we just run over a back stabbing liberal Treasoncrat back there?
"Good going Pilgrim!"

The Duke was one of a kind.

There has been no one to compare to him.
A definitive “one of a kind.”

The Man who Shot Liberty Valance just may be the perfect movie.
