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.

Well, something is up cause my oldest son got a sandwich at one of our local family stores and was sick...sick...sick.... later that day. He had tomatoes on his sandwich.

Well, not much going on. I did download yesterday's Windows updates yesterday.

Our DTV service did an upgrade this morning.; The MyMedia section isn't working. I'm going to check up on that. DTV is working though. Weather's nice this morning. Temps in the low 70's.

Sorry to hear that. I guess I am lucky that I grow my tomatoes and other veggies.
