“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 is 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.
The sound of a kid calling you dad for the first time.
There’s a lot of great things about life.
But I think tomorrow is the most important thing.
Comes into 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.”
John Wayne (1907-1979)

John Wayne was once described as
“an extra star on the American flag”.

“There’s right and there’s wrong,”
Duke said in the Alamo.
“You gotta do one or the other.
You do the one and you’re living.
You do the other and you may be walking around,
but in reality you’re dead.”

Duke Wayne symbolized just this,
the force of the American will
to do what is right in the world.
He could have left no greater legacy.
