Here is a little Trivia about John Wayne. Did you know..... That in 1980 he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom,the highest civilian award,by then President Carter
That he was voted the 4th Greatest Movie Star of all time by Prmiere Magazine. That he adressed the Republican National Convention on its opening Day in 1968.

Click here I wanted to have this tribute ready for his 101 Birthday,but circumstances beyond my control prevented it,so I saved this for the 29 th Anniversary of his passing.
John Wayne was not only a patriot and hero on the screen,but also in true live.
I hope you all will enjoy this thread.

WELCOME TO THE
Pilgrim
Good morning, Everyone. Good morning
Thank you, Mrs. N, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities.
You know I should be a walking bank of knowledge of John Wayne history and trivia. Not only did my first husband (god rest his soul) idolize JW, but my current husband does as well. They would watch every movie of JW's no matter how many times they'd seen it. I do admit that there are a few of his movies that I do love sitting down and watching with hubby
For all you John Wayne fans out there who might be looking for somewhere to donate money, check out this link to his Cancer Institute - where you can make a donation in the name of a loved one.
DC Metroland weather report
~ Today....Partly cloudy. Not as hot. High 88F. Winds NNE at 10 to 15 mph.
~ Tonight....SMainly clear skies. Low 64F. Winds light and variable.
It appears the storms moving in our area last night missed my homestead. The storm was sort of north and west of us and moved over northern virginia and dc moving north-easterly. Oh well.....at least it is cooler and less humid.
Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock
Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

TRUSTWORTHY The badge of honesty. Having it lets you look any man in the eye. Lacking it he wont look back. Keep this one at the top of your list. LOYAL The very word is life itself, for without loyalty we have no love of person or country.
REVERANT Believe in anything that you want to believe in but keep GOD at the top of it. With him, life can be a beautiful experience. Without him, you are just bidding time.
Great way to break it down. IMO, these three are the most powerful!
