I grew up watching John Wayne with my father. He's my father's hero and one of the main reasons he became a police officer. I, being a 'daddy's girl' would sit and watch with him, mostly the westerns. I came to love the Duke for all the reasons my father does. He represents everything a good person should live by, such as strength of character and honor, which no one talks about anymore.

I too am now a police officer and I work for the same department as my father (who has a cardboard cut-out of JW in his office). He and I both think the same way in difficult situations on the street: What Would John Wayne Do? or WWJWD . My two heroes: John Wayne and my dad.

Just curious where the fandome riegns from. I'm from Texas if you couldn't have guessed from the poll, and not Dallas or Austin, I'm real Texan. I guess to me JW always seemed like a Texan too. Big, Mean, Weatherd, Straight to the point, and Right (most of the time). Kinda like his old buddy Ronald Reagan.

Thats all I got, lets hear what you got.

I AM FROM WASHINGTON STATE. BEEN HERE MY WHOLE LIFE. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT MOST OF DUKE'S FANS ARE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY!!!!! WOW! :o HE DID MAKE AN IMPACT, DIDN'T HE?? STILL DOES, I BELIEVE.

I HAVE SHARED BEING A JOHN WAYNE FAN WITH MY DAD (AND GRANDMOTHER, I RECENTLY FOUND OUT) ALL MY LIFE. SUCH WONDERFUL, WARM MEMORIES. I AM THE DAUGHTER OF A MAJOR DUKE FAN. IT IS A REAL PLEASURE TO TALK WITH MY DAD FOR HOURS ABOUT THE WESTERNS, WAR MOVIES, AND ADVENTURE MOVIES THE DUKE DID. WE WOULD RECAP PLAY BY PLAY, WHERE THE MOVIES WERE MADE, ETC. MY FATHER LIVES IN ARIZONA, CLOSE BY WHERE A LOT OF DUKE'S MOVIES WERE MADE. HE EVEN STAYED AT THE HOTEL THAT WAS BUILT WHERE "SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON" WAS FILMED. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE SIMILAR STORIES? ARE YOU WILLING TO SHARE? I WOULD LOVE TO READ ABOUT THEM. THANKS

P/S I LOVE "HATARI" . IT'S NOT THE USUAL DUKE FLICK, BUT I THINK IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES. ANYONE ELSE LIKE THIS ONE?

I BECAME A JOHN WAYNE FAN WHEN I WAS A KID (ABOUT 5 OR 6 YEARS OLD). MY DAD WOULD CUDDLE UP WITH ME ON THE COUCH AND WE WOULD WATCH DUKE MOVIES ON SATURDAY AFTERNOONS. THEY ARE GREAT MEMORIES. AND TODAY, MY DAD AND I TALK ON THE PHONE ABOUT THE OLD MOVIES WE OWN ON DVD, AND THE ONES WE NEED TO GET FOR OUR COLLECTIONS. IT'S NOT EVERYDAY YOU HERE ABOUT A FATHER AND DAUGHTER SHARING INTERESTS FROM "DAD'S DAY"!!!
