Iconic Birthday Today!

[Muddyboots]

Happy Birthday Marion Robert Morrison - AKA John Wayne!

May 26, 1907! Maybe last great action hero! The Duke, as he was known, embodied the simple, and perhaps simplistic, cowboy values of decency, honesty and integrity," the same source indicates.

Can you imagine how he views Hollywood Morons today?

What was your favorite John Wayne movie?

True Grit is mine.

Again hard to pick one, all of the already mentioned and Green Berets. Oh wait, stage coach! Aw dang Muddy I can't just pick one

 

[Ol' Red]

McClintock was one of my favorites. I have a collection of about 30 John Wayne movies. I try to watch all of them at least once a year.

Remember when pulling you're self up by the boot straps and strong independent self sustainable man were a thing to look up to. Wish we had more men like John Wayne as role models. Rip
