I had the privilege of meeting John Wayne while he was standing in his driveway, I was visiting his next-door neighbor. I forgot the small talk. I was a young Marine at the time who had a friend that lived next door to John Wayne. I do remember these words as I got out of my truck with my friends. The Duke asks him, " Who is that young fellow with you?" We talked with him for about 15 min's in that driveway, now I brag about it now and then, LOL! That was in 1977, I,m an old man now. :)
Fantastic story! Too bad you didn’t have a cell phone camera to document the occasion! Thanks for sharing! What a memory!
I m not sure that would have been respectful back then? I met many actors and actresses then, I hung out at the Bob Hope Hollywood USO. and the movie studios. actors back then would invite Marines to hang out with them. One day I hope that you do a video on El Toro Air Base and the Hollywood canteen you cannot find much about either of these places on youTube. { My nephew was a child actor. } Thank you History Hunters.
I graduated high school in 1975 .... So yeah I know... Me to.. 😉
wow jerry great memories
What a fantastic memory and The Duke was honoring your service and we do as well, thank you.
Thank you for paying homage to man who believed in our country. Your words were well spoken and received by your fans. It surprised me his burial marker was ordinary for being such a big star. Very humbling. Thanks!
Thank you very much, Tom! We all need to speak out against the things that will lead to our nation’s downfall.
@@jbenziggy Amen!
Discovered your video clip today, and watched it because I'm a HUGE John Wayne fan. I thoroughly loved him. My father raised me God and Country and he watched the Westerns when I was growing up. I consider myself an American who happens to be Black. God knew where He wanted my roots to be, and it's here in the Most blessed Nation outside of Israel. I've often said that in my world there were 3 that walked on water Jesus, John Wayne and my daddy 💜 I had the treat of doing to the John Wayne birth place museum, and want to go to Monument Valley. So, thank you for posting this. You've made my day. #God bless #GodBlessAmerica
Thanks for visiting John Wayne's grave, this June it will be fourty two years since he's gone and truly missed
Yes, John Wayne is still truly missed.
John Wayne was a good actor, I remember my older family members sitting down watching he's films..
We miss Him
wow has it really been that long, he was one cool man
Well done, well said Jeff! John Wayne was a true American patriot. That is definitely a beautiful cemetery. Thanks for sharing! 🇺🇸🚜👍
Well done and well said Jeff. 👍
His memory will always live on. Amen.
Lol
I'm 100% on John Wayne's side of things. I wish he were here today. We need many more like him.
He was an actor!
Never be another John Wayne. 😢
@@oneseeker2 he was an amazing human…..do a little research and you will find his good works. Not just an actor…..
Amen , great comment 👍🇺🇸
it’s alright to recognize his contributions, but it’s also important to recognize his faults.
“ I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility”
“There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves”
“I’ve directed two pictures, and I gave the blacks their proper position. I had a black slave in The Alamo”
^all direct quotes. the guy was problematic.
Thank you for visiting and showing us the Duke's grave and paying respect to man and what he stood for. I'm sorry to see someone desecrated his grave by gluing that coin to his marker and people should learn to leave things alone and not assume that everyone needs to believe as they do. I do know for the longest time there was no marker to his grave and he didn't want his gravesite to be turned into a shrine and an attraction. I was in 8th grade when he passed and it was like losing a relative you knew and cared about and I was glad to have grown up with him as a role model in moves and television. May he always rest in peace.
He was an actor
@@oneseeker2 and a good man
Modest grave for the Duke. I think that spoke about his character. Always liked John Wayne.😁👍
You should've seen his parties though
Thankyou for showing us John Wayne's Grave. My mum, bless her was a big JW fan..absolutely loved him. I remember the day we heard he had died, it was June 11th 1979. That was the day I started working from leaving school. My mum was in the kitchen when they announced it on the radio, I heard her quietly crying 😥 He was a Mountain of a Man! A True Legend!
He was the greatest there was rip john wayne
My grandparents married June 13th, 1964, so June 13th 1979 was their "Crystal anniversary" (as they call it in Germany) and my grandpa, who loved western raised his glass and said sth like "Rest in Peace John". My grandma bought flowers the next day and gave it to my grandpa thinking that someone at his workplace died.
John Wayne was a big hero to my dad so anything I see of John Wayne reminds me of my father I sure do miss him.....
Thanks for putting out these videos Monday through Friday I spend my lunch break watching you guys!!!!
I enjoyed watching John Wayne movies. I am so happy John Wayne accepted Jesus as his Saviour and Lord before leaving the earth. He is a born again christian with Jesus in Heaven. God is El Shaddai.
I love knowing where John Wayne is buried. I was in basic training when he passed away. For reading part of the headlines, I ended up having to do 100 push-ups for reading the article. Those were the only push-ups that I didn't mind doing. I love all of the " Dukes " movies.
Make America John Wayne Again! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing this article with us this morning Jeff.
JOHN WAYNE, he was a true American Patriot, IMHO. I know there are many people out there that would debate me on that but, they're entitled to their opinions as much as I am. He was a Legend and I still have that opinion.
Thanks again and, be safe out there.
Stan
Like the patriots who attacked democracy, he was a racist, bigot and mysogynist.
Thank you for doing this video! My mom adored John Wayne. She had a sticker on her car that said “God Bless John Wayne!”. She grew up in Bluff, Utah and was able to go watch them film Stagecoach and Fort Apache. My grandpa and his horse were Extras in Fort Apache! I have pictures of my mom and grandma with John Wayne. They both have always said he was the kindest man and went out of his way to mingle with the locals!
What a wonderful event in their lives meeting the Duke! Someone surmised that all of the cast and crew of one of those desert location films died of cancer and they suspect it was related to exposure to the nuclear test radiation detonated nearby. Did you hear that too?
@@jbenziggy sadly, yes. My mother was a downwinders and passed away 7 years ago from pancreatic cancer.
@@jbenziggy The thing about all the people on the film, " The Conqueror" was though there was nuclear testing there, all the people from that film that died of cancer were smokers from what I have read.
Absolutely true! He walked up to me and my friend in Houston at the Enron parking lot, the building where he was filming (1968), "The Hellfighters", the story of Red Adair (firefighter). His opening line was, "Hello, ladies!".... in his booming voice with a big smile. A great memory.
I know the territory, used to raft the San Juan past those red hills and Mexican Hat near Bluff where those movies were shot. I was watching one of his colorized movies where they showed a military wagon train crossing a river , thought it looked familiar then I saw Mexican Hat in the background so I knew why it looked familiar to me. Made my day.
What a Man.....I sure miss watching him making movies. I still watch all the old re runs.....I loved John Wayne as much as my own mother
I especially liked this episode of John Wayne. You are an excellent story teller and narrator.
Thank you very much!
I heard that John Wayne accepted Jesus as his Savior and I was thrilled to hear that. Have always loved his movies. "The Shootist" is my favorite! May you both be blessed as you continue to bring joy to so many each week!
I thought my Hero John Wayne would of had a grand grave stone. My Dad was a Glass and Screen guy and replaced a window at John Wayne's home or retreat at Balboa Island. My parents divorced when I was 5 and my dad wasn't around so I latched onto Mr. Wayne cause to me he was the ultimate man and strong figure I desired. I wrote him at 8 yrs old and send him my picture. He wrote me back and sent me an Autographed Photo. When I was 12 he sent me another without asking and said, "Courage My Boy!". I too was crushed when he passed, and still have reverence for the man. Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway~ John Wayne
Very touching comments! Every boy needs a role model! Did you keep the signed photos?
@@jbenziggy Yes! And a book he later sent me about him growing up in leather bound that today is like new.
Your a very lucky person!
I don’t think we will ever see another John Wayne again.
And it’s bitter sweet because it would be nice to have these sort of great actors back or new ones.
But this will make people like The Duke live forever and never be forgotten or replaced.
@@mitch5077 Hello
Thank you. You have a great story with him.
I love watching Johns movies he was a great actor. God bless him. RIP
Wise words from John Wayne. Your walks through the cemeteries yield many interesting stories. I wasn't expecting the Quiet Riot connection.
Since John Wayne is such a larger than life figure I expected him to have a more elaborate final resting place. I like it that he doesn't though. Somehow this is actually more fitting.
Maybe he didn't want a big elaborate Stone
@@RStark-ek7mh Nicely put 👍
It was many years after he passed before he had one at all.
@@la_old_salt2241 That comment is correct. I visited the site 25 years ago and was told it wasn’t marked because they were afraid someone might dig up or disturb his gravesite, so they decided to leave it unmarked.
Thanks, I meet John Wayne back in 1967 at the big park in Culver City. Yes he was tall.
6'4
Do you remember what he was like, when talking to him and with others?
John Wayne played so many great roles. He was one of the few actors that was a conservative. No politics here, I'll shut up.
Great video Jeff and Sarah!
So glad that you liked our visit to his grave and the others! We do appreciate your time devoted to our channel!
Many actors have been and are 'conservatives', thank you for stopping there.
No C.F. Don't shut up! Do what the Duke would do! Speak your mind and if liberals and snowflakes get offended, then tough potooties to them!
Thank you Jeff and Sarah. I was a little surprised at the simplicity of the Duke's grave site and there being no reference to Marion Morrison. I am assuming that this is the way John Wayne would have wanted it and his children did their best to honor him as in life.🤞
Bob Hope has a grand gravesite but John’s is very common and he is buried next to complete strangers. I was stunned at the simplicity too!
He is not buried next to complete strangers! He is buried next to his best friends son.his best friend was Chick Iverson and he and John were like brothers and Chick HAD him buried in his family plot because he handled a lot of John’s personal affairs before and after John died.
Yes. Marion Morrison also played football for the University of Southern California. I didn't care for his politics, but you can't beat his Westerns. Thanks Jeff. You're a good history hunter.
@@ethanabrams6250 You are correct. Chick Iverson was my Father-in-Law,and his son Chick Jr. is buried between them. Yes,They were great friends and neighbors. Chick was a pall-bearer at the Dukes funeral.
@@jbenziggy You could not be more incorrect.John Wayne is buried next to one of his best friends,Chick Iverson,the infamous Newport Beach car dealer and his son, Chick Jr. Chick Iverson was my Father-in-Law. The Dukes grave was unmarked for years,and in fact,at Chicks funeral,many people in attendance unknowingly sat atop and walked on his unmarked grave. I was amazed.
My Dad was a hospital administrator for a nursing home in Newport Beach, where John's mother was a resident. I'm not sure who has the pic now, but it's John, his mother , and my Dad
I had to look up his parents after reading your comment! Thanks! I had given no thoughts to his parents but his mom and dad are in different Southern California cemeteries.
What did your Dad say about meeting John Wayne?
Like what was he like in person?
I sincerely appreciate the tour! I knew a stunt man that worked on Rooster Cogburn and the lady.(1975) He got me an autographed John Wayne photo. It said "Good Luck Ronnie, John Wayne"! I had autographed photos of Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, 2 N.C. governors, 2 Senators and and Jimmy Carter. These were all while in office. In 2015 someone broke in our home and the only autographed photo they took was John Wayne's. I wish they'd taken the rest and left his. He was my idol growing up! I subscribed because of this video. I'm enjoying your others now!
My bucket list been to his birth place Winterset Iowa And nice new museum that they built I plan on visiting his grave this year or next love all his war movies
I hope that you can get out here in good weather and enjoy the beaches on the same trip. It was gorgeous there!
John Wayne was a great actor as he was a great Man! A true great Hollywood Legend, Icon and Western Movie Legend! I'm a huge John Wayne fan and my favorite John Wayne Movie is RIO BRAVO! R.I.P. John Wayne! 😇❤
Every Sunday morning I always look forward to the new video. I pretty much follow my Grandpa and my Dad's footstep by being a John Wayne fan, he made so many great films.🤠🐎
God Bless John Wayne. My forever favorite actor. I still love watching his movies. Anyone who stands up for self reliance is standing up for freedom and liberty!!!
My hero when i was growing up,my dad's too,we really enjoyed his movies.🙏
My morning cup of coffee and History Hunters. The beginning of a perfect Sunday.
A fair, balanced and respectful look at a great, great man.....and others. Where do I pick up some John Wayne toilet paper?
👍👏 I've been looking for some of HIS brand of TP for a long, long time.
Rough, tough and, don't take XXXX of anyone.
John Wayne is a true legend. I was brought up on his films. I used to watch them with my Grandad. Happy happy memories. Love you grandad.
And I agree with him 100 percent!!!
I like John Wayne's perspective on being American. Seems we could use a lot of that right now.
You are so right Andy always said it so simple
You mean the guy who stayed home during WWII while other actors and sports figures left their professions to go fight for America?
Yeah bit more division just what America needs.
Jonn Wayne grave
@@chasjohn57 Yes. His wife said he overcompensated for that by being a patriot the rest of his life. It was also said that he was bisexual so I'm sure some people would criticize him for that.
I don't judge a man based upon his decisions at one time but more about how he developed as an individual throughout his life. Some wouldn't have even let the lack of service bother them but it bothered the Duke.
It seems to me that this flawed individual still had many redeeming qualities.
I shook The Dukes hand in 1974 when he was Grand Marshal in the Rose Parade !!
That would have been a memorable moment for sure! I saw Gregory Peck in the 1989 Rose Parade but didn’t get as close as you did to Wayne!
What an honor that must have been.
Wow. Nice.
Awesome
@Lauren Alexandra no but we have a Facebook page!
John Wayne's grave was unmarked for almost 20 years because his family was concerned about grave robbers. Perhaps Koby Bryant's family has the same concerns and will reveal where his is buried in 20 years.
@@RStark-ek7mh Unfortunately, they also steal the markers.
@@RStark-ek7mh lol. If there were money or power in the grave robbing Ovomit would be doing it.....and getting away with it
Grave robbers were caught and arrested trying to steal Elvis' body after he passed away . That's why they moved him to the grounds at Graceland .
@@RStark-ek7mh Get HELP
@@bettyfourman5438 how old r u?
Awesome location. Thx. Enjoyed alot. ✌ Rest in peace Mr Wayne.🇺🇲

So true!
Re-visiting this video and remembering what great videos this channel produces. Thank you History Hunters because Sunday evenings are even more enjoyable because of you.
While this channel takes a lot of effort, the reward is a comment such as your praise. Thank you very much, George. I’m assuming that’s your real name. LOL. We truly appreciate your encouragement!
My parents are buried in Pacific View approximately 200 ft North of John Wayne,a grave site.
That was very interesting. John Wayne spoke his mind, whether people agreed with him, or not, didn't appear to matter to him. I am not familiar with the ladies, but apparently they did make quite a few movies. All research does indicate or make it appear that Kobe Bryant and his young daughter are buried in the area you were in. Once again, thank you, Jeff and Sarah, for your research and visit to this cemetery.
💙🪦🪦🪦🙏...
Always great to watch your videos. As a UK person it would almost be impossible for myself to see the places that you guys Jess & Sarah visit.. Thank you for bringing history closer to us!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed this visit with us!
Good episode guys ! I want to visit some time. John Wayne was a local down there. Balboa Island is down the street from the cemetery. That’s a cool little place. The Duke was a regular down there. So was Shirley Temple and Buddy Ebsen. A few movie star’s had houses and boats on the bay. Thanks guys.
My god John will be spinning in his grave with all that’s going on today
John Wayne is my hero 🥰💜
Lol. I was thinking that too.
Thanks you for show John Wayne graveyards.he was to me one of the best actor in Hollywood.to me.
Lovely video as always. Thank you for sharing The Duke's grave with us.
I love John Wayne ...and his politics. I have all of his movies on DVD. A great actor and a good man
Awww..love that you present the old films of the forgotten stars. Second bananas are still special.
Very cool. I just loved John Wayne.
Beautiful cemetery! Thanks for taking us with you!
Thanks for tagging along with us on this journey. We appreciate it, Jordan!
The cemetery is very well cared for. I attended a funeral there this year and noticed that. They also do cremations.
His grave is fitting with the Man that he was an american Icon of the people and for the people. Nothing fancy just a marker like all the others around him. God bless him and the America he loved. " In God we trust. "
He is my Hero ", a true American man ... RIP .. Wayne love ❤ and prayers 🙏 ....Great to the end.... Miss him...
Thanks for all the information, my former grand mother-in-law was a seamstress for the movie industry when they were in the SF Bay Area and she adjusted John Wayne's trousers for a movie they were filming up north in San Rafael, CA. She saved the fabric that she cut off his pants and told the story many times prior to her death.
I'm surprised too that he has such a humble looking marker for the hugh famous star☆he is/was!
Seen Quiet Riot at the Stone in S.F. early 80s before dubrow was a big rock star.
Thanks, another great tour! "Bang your head"
Yeah Kevin Dubrow has a very sad ending. Like many rockers he got tripped up in drugs. Some people can’t handle the fame.
Wayne’s own epitaph for himself was the Spanish phrase “Feo, Fuente y Formal”, meaning “He was ugly, strong and had great dignity”.
I remember John Wayne I remember watching the cowboys he was a great actor and I love watching the cowboys all the time I love John Wayne 💖 he was the best cowboys ever 💞 miss watching his shows
I love John Wayne soooo much .He was such a patriot!!
It was 20 years before Duke Wayne had a marker. The family was concerned for someone desecrating it.
And then someone did by gluing an unwanted coin to it.
His last movie was "The Shootist." Great movie with Lauren Bacall and Jimmy Stewart. Great way to end his movie career.
I would very much like to see that one again
My brother-in-law worked at Warner brothers studios in the 70’s. He got my sisters on the set of the shootist how cool is that. They met the Duke.
His movies are my favorites all of them. He was a great real man. Need more like him.
@@deloreskelley2330 Hi Delores, My favourite film True Grit ' a Momentous performance by John and good co star Glen Campbell. Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🕊🕊🕊
Actually quite sad movie, knew what movie mean’t. We lost a big part of Americana forever, what a legacy.
John Wayne adorable ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🌹🌹
There nothing else like john wayne really missing that man rip john wayne 2021
7 of my Relatives are buried there.There was a time When you could actually see the ocean from any place there on that hill...
The man the legend The Duke must admit i thought he would have a bigger grave the rest of the video was amazing bit of History Thankyou Jeff and Sarah
Hi Jeff!
First of all, thank you so much for going, and finding John Wayne’s gravesite. I really enjoyed and appreciated this episode.
I am “one” of the bazillion John Wayne fan❤. I was two years old when John Wayne passed away. My incredible love, and passion for John Wayne came from my grandmother, who was addicted to him her entire life 😊😅. My grandma , pretty much raised me, and the only thing on her TV was John Wayne, quite literally. She had the same values, the same love, that same enormous heart and spirit that John Wayne had. And now that I’m a John Wayne junkie lol, I have, of course, passed that along to my three children, who absolutely love and adore him.
So happy that you liked this, Misty. He was a much admired American!
Love it big fan of John Wayne. Watched all of his movies.
For John Wayne fans I recommend the Randy Roberts and James Olson biography written in 1995. It is better than the recent Scott Eyman book. During the shooting of "The Alamo", Wayne was smoking 200 cigarettes a day. (I'd say he lit 200 cigarettes a day, and maybe smoked half that.) What is interesting to me is how many of Hollywood's old stars prematurely aged- probably from the smoking, and drinking, and speed (They used it recklessly to lose weight fast). Spencer Tracy was 67 when he died and looked over 80. Bogart was 58 and looked in his late 70's. Ward Bond -57, and so forth.... A nice video from our friends at History Hunters. I wonder when California is going to start charging for cemetery visits? And then add another tax.....
I've also heard the cancers were caused by filming in areas where atomic bombs were tested.
@@greyferguson9319 During production of an horrible film, 'The Conqueror' (with Morrison as Genghis Khan).
I hope not. We already have 9.5% sales tax, gas around $5.25 a gallon and $1,400 a month for a studio apartment in Los Angeles unless you rent a dump in a depressing junk neighborhood where you have to worry about crime. 🙁
You would think that John Wayne's grave would be bigger then that keep up the good work guys love the show.
Yes he was deserving of something grand but I guess he chose the more humble marker. Thanks for enjoying our show! We trust that you have subscribed.
@@jbenziggy Yes I subscribed long time ago I have emailed you a couple of times about a drone that I had if you needed stuff like that and wanted to see if you guys would do an episode on the old gravesite out at White rock Road in Planada ca
Great tour!!! YES, it's very expensive even to hold Memorial services for loved ones being cremated and buried at sea. I've been there for four such occasions. Thanks for renewing memories!
I love your work! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Great job again ! WOW the condition of the Dukes grave is sad for me to see.
Thank you, Steven! We appreciate the comment!
Awesome Content as always! Your production is worthy of TV; you should have your own TV show!
That’s really nice of you to say so. Much appreciated, Peter!
Thank you so much for doing a piece on my hero John Wayne. I too just finished high school and was in the Marine Corps when John Wayne passed away. I still watch his moves and will until my last breathe. He did good for this country, never talked bad about it. May he Rest in Peace and again thank you and looking forward to your upcoming videos.
Thanks Tony! Thank you for your service to our nation!
Great vlog as always Jeff! Man I watch that show Botch and I always thought "is Terry Dubrow related to Quiet Riot Kevin Dubrow?" Well now I know! Thank you for that! He was a great singer, my wife saw Quiet Riot back in their heyday. Take care Jeff
I'm surprised that Wayne's grave marker is not as elaborate as other celebrities. I guess as you mentioned the cost of such a tribute would be expensive. But since he was "the duke" it would have been appropriate. My same thought is that of Sinatra 's grave marker. Not reflective of his contribution to entertainment.
I have the same thought of Chris Cornells grave marker. First of all it looks like a foot marker not a headstone second Johnny Ramone isnt even buried there and he has a better headstone and a statue. Chris has a statue in Seattle that doesn't look like him.
...you should check out ,Charle Bronson's, grave site...simple, similar with an iron armchair, on the grave site to sit on,and a beautiful inscription on his grave.
Cool video guy’s! Amazing and beautiful cemetery like you said. I really like the background and the “not so known” facts or tidbits you tell us about that person or place. It deepens my interest and sometimes I’ll find myself googling that person or place to find out more! LOL. Oh, and I definitely like the background pictures or videos you include in the video like you did with the interview of John Wayne on this one. And one more, which is my favorite, is when you do the location pictures and overlap the old shot with the current location to see how it looked then compared to now. Great work again guy’s! Thank you for the video and look forward to the next one! Take care now pilgrim! Frank from Philadelphia, PA.
John Wayne great patriot and iconic movie star! Love and respect for him! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for taking me along I enjoyed it
I love that saying on his stone... So Beautiful! God Bless Mr Wayne in heaven! God Bless our World, we need it badly!
I loved the duke. I wzs in the Marine Corps when he died and on color guard duty so we asked the Lt. could we fly the flzg half mast. She said he wasnt a Marine. I said he played a Marine in alot of movies and played a marine better than some real marines...
Semper Fi Marine.
@@jerrysullivan8424 semper fi Jerry
Yes he was a better representation of a Marine than your Lieutenant.
Jeff and Sarah,
Excellent video 👍. I’m a huge fan of John Wayne, excellent history
He spoke truth
When. He first died we were told no stone be placed so he could. Rest In Peace. I guess as time go by we find out more.
wow had no idea James Roosevelt was a Marine Raider in WWII and was awarded the Navy Cross, the second highest award you can receive
Semper Fi Marine.
I do love your stories and work. Really liked your story about John Wayne. He was very special to me and like you I felt like I'd lost a friend or family member when he died. Than you for what you and your Mrses do ❤❤
I enjoyed this episode. We live in Huntington Beach, not far from Newport Beach. Will have to go visit Pacific View Memorial Park. I didn't realize so many famous people were buried there. I was a little surprised that John Wayne's grave and marker were so plain, compared to the fancy tombs of others buried there. Even though some of his remarks were controversial by today's standards, I consider him a great American and patriot.
Me too! Thanks for your observations!
June Storey was so pretty
When Kelly Lee Tarentello was 29, her heart began to fail, and she was faced with additional health challenges. Her doctors advised her that her liver was not removing the toxins, and she also needed a liver transplant. In September 2016, she underwent a dual heart-liver transplant at UCLA.
I love big John Wayne I sincerely hope that we see him in the sky , until we meet again rest easy Duke .
The Duke Is There And Always Will Stay In '' HOLLYWOOD HISTORY " !!!!
Seems we have "Red River" and "Sons of Katie Elder" on repeat here, any Duke movie is s good one! And, I was just about to say, "take US (landlocked) to the beach!" ...and you did! Thanks!
I've always wondered why someone would have an elaborate tombstone or mausoleum for that matter. All those heroes buried at Arlington have very simple Graves with no fanfare. Both my parents didn't want Graves for they didn't want anyone to feel guilty for not visiting or leaving flowers. I also feel the same way.
Your parents weren’t wrong...I totally agree.90% of my family are buried,3 states away and I miss & feel guilty about not being there.
Only the wealthy
@@TheSharron: I wouldn't feel guilty about not being able to visit people in a cemetery because they are not there. My father's spirit stayed in my (formerly his) house for years trying to get rid of my problem boyfriend. I could write a whole book about it.
John Wayne he was one great American and actor he loved his country and move making. Will missed actor. He is probably turning in his grave the way the country is being ran now.
I'm glad I find this video of yours because this one you will show one of my favorite actor John Wayne Keep up the good work,Jeff
Another great episode as usual!! I love the clips and narrative you insert. So well done. Thanks for taking us to the beach as well!🌊🌊🌊💙💙💙
John Wayne's boat, The Wild Goose, is still docked in Newport Harbor
Yes it is. I go by it every time I take my boat out
Has it not sank so sad
I met john wayne at greenhorn guest ranch. great man. super nice.
I was at the rally for Gerald Ford at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley, California in 1976. I think the crowd was as excited to see John Wayne as the President of the United States. In 1982 I helped James Roosevelt off the stage at a Republican fundraising dinner. The speaker was Richard Nixon. Even though they were from different political parties, they were very good friends.
