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.

WELCOME TO THE

Pilgrim

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Mrs. N, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

You know I should be a walking bank of knowledge of John Wayne history and trivia. Not only did my first husband (god rest his soul) idolize JW, but my current husband does as well. They would watch every movie of JW's no matter how many times they'd seen it. I do admit that there are a few of his movies that I do love sitting down and watching with hubby

For all you John Wayne fans out there who might be looking for somewhere to donate money, check out this link to his Cancer Institute - where you can make a donation in the name of a loved one.

DC Metroland weather report

~ Today....Partly cloudy. Not as hot. High 88F. Winds NNE at 10 to 15 mph.

~ Tonight....SMainly clear skies. Low 64F. Winds light and variable.

It appears the storms moving in our area last night missed my homestead. The storm was sort of north and west of us and moved over northern virginia and dc moving north-easterly. Oh well.....at least it is cooler and less humid.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

TRUSTWORTHY – The badge of honesty. Having it lets you look any man in the eye. Lacking it he won’t look back. Keep this one at the top of your list.

LOYAL – The very word is life itself, for without loyalty we have no love of person or country.

REVERANT – Believe in anything that you want to believe in but keep GOD at the top of it. With him, life can be a beautiful experience. Without him, you are just bidding time.

Great way to break it down. IMO, these three are the most powerful!
