I wish John Wayne had lived longer.
John
Wayne was a fervent patriot. He wanted to join up for WW2, but was
rejected as being too old. The military wanted him to act in
patriotic films. He was active in helping veterans and supporting the
military. He was faithful to this country.
A list of some of his military movies:
The Flying Leathernecks (1951) ...Operation Pacific (1951) ...
The Fighting Seabees. ...
The Green Berets (1968) ...
In Harm's Way (1965) ...
The Longest Day (1962) ...
The Flying Tigers (1942) ...
Back to Bataan (1945)
I
have seen all of these once and then twice. Now that I am older and
have a better understanding of that horrible war, I appreciate what he
portrayed.
War is hell.
A brave man like John Wayne is often few and far apart.
John Wayne, May 26 1907-1979
