No problem. Sounds like you might actually be coming around to becoming a fan of the Dukes. I was only 18 yrs. old, just graduated from high school when the Duke died. He has forever remained an irreplaceable icon IMO. I just loved him in case you havn't caught on so maybe I've gotten a little carried away with my comments. Please watch the special and get back to us ever devoted Duke fans, will ya?

I doubt I will ever be a fan of his acting or his movies. However, this thread has illuminated some other information about him that I did not know. Previously, I had thought of him as someone who stormed the beaches of southern California in defense of our republic. His shoulder injury making him unfit for service didn't carry a lot of weight with me since I lied to the Navy about a past injury of mine so that I could serve.
