I rember when I was In the movie theater with my kids in 50s once a week we would always check on the coming soon posters to see if he was going to be in another movie thats how much we loved his movies.

john wayne would be 100 years today if he didnt live such a bad life style but I loved his movies the cowboys was a stunning movie he would usualy play the aging cowboy with a heart of stone and a fist full of power thats what was great about his movies he brought joy into the hearts of many americans and thats real american spirit

He is by far my favorite actor. I have never stop enjoying watching his moives. There was never been anyone close to the duke for me.

The first time I ever saw John Wayne was at the age of 5. My grandfather a former sailor in the United States Navy, was watching Duke's film with Patricia Neal, Operation Pacific. It was that day, I fell in love with John Wayne, and the United States Navy. I idolize this man, the man himself and his persona of John Wayne. He was incredible, bigger than life itself and he let nothing stand in his way, Whether it was the "Big C" (Cancer), or gruff, irritating Directors (John Ford comes to mind here), or the women in his life.

Duke began his life as I did mine, dirt poor. He fought his way up to popularity in high school even with a name like Marion. He had an abusive mother, similiarly I had an abusive step mother. The more I found out about his life, and the ways it was similar to mine, the more I admired the man.

Then when i was 12 I heard him sing his song, America, Why I Love Her. The tears fell as I listened to this very patriotic American sing of his love for his country. Goose bumps formed, because I too, felt this way, and still do.

I know it seems sappy and perhaps I was born about 70 years out of time, but I still feel the chill run up my spine when I hear this song, and when I see Duke Wayne on the screen.

One of my favorite quotes of Duke's is as follows:

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. John Wayne.
