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.

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.

George Washington McLintock:

I know I'm gonna use good judgement. I haven't lost my temper in forty years, but pilgrim you caused a lot of trouble this morning, might have got somebody killed... and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't. The hell I won't [belts man in the mouth]

John Wayne talking with Dean Martin about what he wants for his daughter. It’s beautiful.

When I have a couple extra minutes I come here ..and tonight I must say thanks to our heroes and God Bless them for what they do for all of humanity.

As for the Duke (Ethan Edwards) from quite possibly the best film ever made—The Searchers:

Reverend Clayton: Well, the prodigal brother. When did you get back? Ain’t seen you since the surrender. Come to think of it, I didn’t see you at the surrender.

Ethan: I don’t believe in surrenders. Nope, I’ve still got my saber, Reverend. Didn’t beat it into no plowshare, neither.
