John Wayne

For those of us that were young in the 50’s and 60’s we know who John Wayne was.
John Wayne was a movie actor and was in dozens of Western movies and more important John Wayne always played the “good guy” and was an example of “honor” and he always did the “the right thing”. John Wayne was always a gentleman and he was a man of his word. He represented everything that you wanted to be and a person and had the character of a true American hero.
Where is that person today ? Where are our John Wayne’s ?
More important- where is “ Honor” ?
Has money and power taken over ? The win at all cost mentality?
Our children learn more from what they see and hear then what they learn in school, and if our leaders show them that respect and honor takes a back seat to “ winning” then that is their take away.
Your kids watch and listen to the world around them , as I grew up watching black and white TV and John Wayne movies we also listened to the speeches of John Kennedy and Martin Luther King , it shaped our world.
Where are the John Wayne’s ? Where is Honor ?
