Wayne

Folks, I’ll bet you do not know the real history of the name “Wayne”. I am sending you this is so you will always know…………………

General “Mad Anthony” Wayne raised a militia unit at the beginning of the Revolutionary War and participated in the invasion of Canada.

He fought in the Battle of Trois-Rivières, and led forces at Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence.

“Mad Anthony” Wayne fought at Brandywine in 1777, then harassed British General Howe as his troops marched towards Pennsylvania.

In 1778, Wayne attacked at the Battle of Monmouth.

He fought at Germantown, and quartered the winter at Valley Forge.

In July of 1779, when General George Washington asked if he could capture Stony Point, New York, Wayne replied:

“Issue the orders Sir, and I will storm hell.”

Wayne then led a well-planned and executed stealth, bayonet-only night attack and captured Stony Point.

In relaying the victory, Wayne wrote to Washington:

“Dear Gen’l, — The fort & garrison with Col. Johnston are ours. Our officers & men behaved like men who are determined to be free.”

Wayne was later awarded a medal by the Continental Congress.

Wayne led Lafayette’s forces in the 1781 Green Springs action and led a bayonet charge against British Lord Cornwallis’s troops in Virginia.

After the Revolution, Wayne was recalled by Washington to fight a British and Indian confederacy in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, 1794.

Major William Eaton, who later fought the Barbary Pirates, wrote of General Wayne:

“He endures fatigue and hardship with fortitude uncommon for a man of his years. I have seen him, in the most severe night of the winter of 1794, sleep on the ground, like his fellow-soldiers, and walk around the camp at four in the morning, with the vigilance of a sentinel.”

Twenty-three different cities and monuments were named after “Mad Anthony” Wayne across the US.

But I’ll bet you did not know about the following:

“Mad Anthony” Wayne’s courageous reputation was the model for actor John Wayne. That is why he was given the name Wayne.  Hollywood wanted to create a courageous character like “Mad Anthony”. But they never dreamed that he would become literally just like “Mad Anthony” Wayne!

John Wayne was born MAY 26, 1907.

His given name was Marion Mitchell Morrison, grandson of a Scots-Irish Presbyterian veteran of the Civil War.

He played football for U.S.C. and worked behind-the-scenes at Fox Studios.

Raoul Walsh, director of film The Big Trail (1930), first suggested his screen name be “Anthony Wayne” after Revolutionary War general “Mad Anthony” Wayne, but settled upon “John Wayne.”

He became an Academy Award winning actor for portraying cowboys and soldiers in action western and war films, appearing in over 200 films, and holding the Hollywood record of starring in 142 films.

John Wayne’s career took off when director John Ford cast him in epic western films such as:

· Fort Apache (1948);
· She Wore A Yellow Ribbon (1949); and
· Rio Grande (1950).

John Wayne became an icon of the U.S. Armed Forces for depicting the strength and sacrifice of American military personnel during World War II, Korea and Vietnam:

· The Flying Tigers (1942);
· The Fighting Seabees (1944);
· They Were Expendable (1945);
· Back to Bataan (1945);
· The Sands of Iwo Jima (1949);
· The Flying Leathernecks (1951)
· Operation Pacific (1951);
· The Longest Day (1962);
· In Harm’s Way (1965); and
· The Green Berets (1968).

These films had the international effect of publicizing America’s military might and moral values, as demonstrated when Japanese Emperor Hirohito visited the United States in 1975 and asked to meet John Wayne.

So, Folks, our national heroes of today have become so weak and mushy!!!  I contend that we need more men like Mad Anthony Wayne and like John Wayne!!!  Just look at some of the things that John Wayne said about our society and our country:

Wayne stated:

“Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.”

“All battles are fought by scared men who’d rather be some place else.”

“Life it tough, but it’s tougher if you’re stupid.”

Regarding socialism, John Wayne stated in an interview, May 1971:

“In the late Twenties, when I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist myself – but not when I left.

The average college kid idealistically wishes everybody could have ice cream and cake for every meal.

But as he gets older and gives more thought to his and his fellow man’s responsibilities, he finds that it can’t work out that way – that same people won’t carry their load.

I believe in welfare – a welfare work program. I don’t think a fella should be able to sit on his backside and receive welfare.

I’d like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.

I’d like to know why they make excuses for cowards who spit in the faces of the police and then run behind the judicial sob sisters.

I can’t understand these people who carry placards to save the life of some criminal, yet have no thought for the innocent victim.”

Wayne also stated:

“Government has no wealth, and when a politician promises to give you something for nothing, he must first confiscate that wealth from you — either by direct taxes, or by the cruelly indirect tax of inflation.”

“I would think somebody like Jane Fonda and her idiot husband would be terribly ashamed and saddened that they were a part of causing us to stop helping the South Vietnamese. Now look what’s happening. They’re getting killed by the millions. Murdered by the millions. How the hell can she and her husband sleep at night?”

“My hope and prayer is that everyone know and love our country for what she really is and what she stands for.”

On MAY 26, 1979, the U.S. Congress awarded him the Congressional Gold Medal and President Jimmy Carter, who later awarded John Wayne the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously, stated: 

“I have today approved … a specially struck gold medal to John Wayne. For nearly half a century, the Duke has symbolized the American ideals of integrity, courage, patriotism, and strength and has represented to the world many of the deepest values that this Nation respects.” 

Ronald Reagan said November 5, 1984:

 “I noted the news coverage about the death of my friend, John Wayne.  One headline read ‘The Last American Hero’ … 

No one would be angrier than Duke Wayne at the suggestion that he was America’s last hero. 

Just before he died, John Wayne said in his unforgettable way, ‘Just give the American people a good cause, and there’s nothing they can’t lick.'” 

In his album, America-Why I Love Her, 1977, John Wayne stated:
 
“Face the Flag, son, and face reality. 

Our strengths and our freedoms are based in unity. 

The flag is but a symbol, son, of the world’s greatest nation,

And as long as it keeps flying, there’s cause for celebration. 

So do what you’ve got to do, but always keep in mind, A lot of people believe in peace … but there are the other kind. 

If we want to keep these freedoms, we may have to fight again. God forbid, but if we do, let’s always fight to win, 

For the fate of a loser is futile and it’s bare: No love, no peace … just misery and despair.Face the Flag, son … and thank God it’s still there.” 

Yes, Folks, today we need more men like Mad Anthony Wayne and John Wayne!!!
