Where is the man
who stood tall and proud,
spoke without stutter—
great words allowed.

Patriotic—dedicated,
deep voice ringing clear,
for the American way,
he was most sincere.

Noble men soon fade—
honor and wisdom their guide.
Who will replace them
with old values worldwide?

A great icon
for freedom and stardom—
Women adored him,
men desired his heroism.

The Duke -- John Wayne
(A REAL MAN!)
