John
Wayne was a unique man, a true American hero. He joined The Big Trail
toward stardom during the age of the silent screen, became a star of
"B" movies during the '30's, and a major star from the '40's until
his death in 1979, when he joined The High and the Mighty on The
Trail Beyond.
He was Hondo, Big Jake, The Quiet Man, King Of The Pecos, The Conqueror, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. He was one of The Searchers and went In Harms Way down the Blood Alley that is known as Hollywood. He was one of those Riders of Destiny, who through Conflict and a little Trouble Along The Way became the biggest box office star Hollywood has ever known, and a hero to not only the American people, but people all around the world.
John Wayne was a man of True Grit, who was Tall In The Saddle, and Without Reservations stood up for what he believed. Through adversity he remained one of the Undefeated as he Cast A Giant Shadow over this great land of ours.
He was one of The Cowboys of Hollywood, and a Tycoon as well. He has become not a Legend Of The Lost, but a legend for all time. He will live forever, a hero till the end.
The man known as John Wayne was more than an actor. He was a humanitarian, patriot, father, husband, actor, politician, director, producer, and most of all, an AMERICAN. When he died, headlines in Japanese newspapers read, "MR. AMERICA IS DEAD."
Even 17 years after his death, a Harris poll named John Wayne most popular actor.
"We must always look to the future. Tomorrow--the time that gives a man just one more chance--is one of the many things that I feel are wonderful in life. So's a good horse under you. Or the only campfire for miles around. Or a quiet night and a nice soft hunk of ground to sleep on. A mother meeting her first-born. The sound of a kid calling you dad for the first time. There's a lot of things great about life. But I think tomorrow is the most important thing. Comes in to 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."
