Hi again :rolleyes:
After sitting behind my computer and reading the posts and replies from all the John Wayne fans, I began to notice something :huh:
Is John Wayne just an American hero? :unsure:

Myself I'm from Vancouver British Columbia. As an eight year old girl I started watching John Wayne movies with my father. I still remember the first movie I watched. It was "The War Wagon".
The reason for this post is so all of you can say where you are from. Because I have noticed after reading these posts that it is "John Wayne International Hero" :P

Well I agree with Monique, saying that John Wayne is an American Hero is just a natural thing to us Yanks, like saying things like "American as apple pie". I have found that a lot of people from other countries recongize him as a part of Americana, or as an American Idol. He has just as many fans in any other country as he has here. His legend really belongs to the world, not just to the U.S.

As for me? I'm from the land of Will Rogers! :D
