Still love John Wayne He's the best

I vaguely remember reading about this exhibit, but now I want to go to Fort Worth and spend a day going through this. John Wayne's film star has not dimmed or been eclipsed, despite the passage of time.

If I ever get to Fort Worth, I’m going to visit this museum and stay all day. John Wayne, American. Enough said. Thanks again, Rob.

I live nearby in Richardson Texas. Now that I know about the John Wayne Experience at The Forth Worth Stockyards I will be going. Thanks for this wonderful video. My favorite story is about Sammy Davis Jr.

When I was a kid we used to joke that there would be no USA without John Wayne since he fought for her in every war. My Dad was USMC WWII on Iwo so of course we watched Sands of Iwo. Lost him in 2018 still a die hard John Wayne fan.

John Wayne will never be forgotten. He remains a household name.

WOW!! Rob, my brother was a “bull hauler” as well as my Dad. I sent this to my brother as John Wayne is his actor! As kids Dad hauled into Kansas City or St Joseph (St Joe) stockyards and we’d go along… no seatbelts (‘50’s) and I always had to straddle the gearshift. 😁 We lived in Kansas. Once when I was going back to college in southern Missouri I made the wrong turn and headed to St Joe, when I saw my error I finally turned around, went down to KC Stockyards and back out to “get my bearings” to head south like I was supposed to do. I knew the way! Truly a truckers dream for John Wayne museum in the Stockyards, believe me many a trucker loved John Wayne. I have no doubt my brother will be planning a trip to Texas. Thanks for this interview. Sammy Davis Jr was a real talented character actor. He did an episode in The Rifleman where he did all kinds of gun stunts … he was a master at use of the gun. An infectious personality. 🤠

You are doing a tremendous job of giving us a glimpse of our past heroes in a great way. Thank you very much.

John Wayne month is my kind of month! Thank you A word on Westerns. WOW😀😀😀

If John Wayne were in fact every American's ideal whose image every citizen strove to live up to instead of just half of us, this would be a much better country. A near paradise in fact. And the fact that that image yet exists and is still admired by so many makes this a better place than it would be without it, and for that reason we all owe him an immeasurable debt impossible to repay.

Yow, how did I not know about this?!? We live close to Ft. Worth (just north of Dallas) and have been there several times. Looks like we need to go back. Thanks, Rob!

Fantastic video. I am amazed at what Ethan Wayne did to honor his father. The museum looks like a great place to visit. I have seen a lot of John Wayne’s movies. Two of them are amongst my favorite movies. Those two are Stagecoach and the Searchers. I have seen and enjoyed his movie The Alamo. It is nice to know that there is a place that keeps his legacy alive. Thanks Rob for doing this video.

Loved this,...great to see what the Wayne family did for their Dad/his legacy,....*thanx/Rob*.

YES Word on Westerns (WOW) = Word on Wayne (WOW) Thank you. 👏

Fantastic photos! Thanks for A Word on Wayne, Rob!

Mr. Word I'm glad I discovered your channel!! I love all the content, thank you for all your work! 🤠

That was great, I always loved the Duke. A well done interview.

Wonderful video. Wish I could see it in person. Loved all his movies. Even had his record.

Thanks for the heads up, looks like a great place to visit.

Rob, thank you for sharing this with us.

This is so Great !!! John Wayne was bigger than life . He just had a Stature that was un matched. The Alamo is , in my opinion one of the Greatest Westerns Ever. I wish they would release in Theaters.

Oh man what an awesome destination!....This Fall here I come!...👍💥🇨🇱💥

Great show. Indeed Ft Wotth is now on my bucket list.

A great tribute to a great actor and man a real tribute to bring this video in his birthday month. Hope that John Wayne lives on for many years to come.

Wonderful memories archival history

Most interesting. Long live Duke Wayne through his many movies, his family, and major fans like you, Rob! Thank you very much!

You almost hate to see them age. Thank you for another excellent episode.

I feel happy to see this nice program from the great man John wayne ٠٠ Thank you so much Mr. ROB

I know this is about Mr. Wayne but I was glad to see Trigger and Bullet in the background of one of the shots and Robert Fuller (one of my favorites) looks good for a man of his age.

What a coincidence. Just as the alert indicated that another episode, I was midway through watching McLintock. Poop Patrick when his dad throws him & he lands on the hard ground after 1st hitting the horse. This museum would be my Graceland . What a significant collection of John Wayne books. Incredible. What an incredible well produced museum. I like it when you go out side into the beautiful weather to enable us to join you as well. Thank you Rob, and have a great week. Kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia.

Rob, I'm amazed at the composition of this episode. Loved every second of it.

Good Morning Mr. Word. I bet we're going to have a GREAT SHOW TODAY. .... It's nice to have someone who represents the GOOD Intentions of an American Period when the FOCUS was to bring us TOGETHER. ... m.

Awesome , Mr. Word, just awesome...

I was there during the New Year break. Definitely worth a visit. Lots of interactive displays and wardrobe from his more famous movies.

Really loved that!!!! Thankyou Rob!

What else? That is an extraordinary video, fantastic indeed! Thank you so much Mr. Rob. 👏👏👏

I think at this stage in my life I know pretty much everything about John Wayne, but I still would love to visit the museum 😍

Just wonderful and fantastic. Sincere thx.

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing!

Outstanding job as always Rob. I can’t thank you enough for keeping the history of westerns alive for future generations. We were so lucky to grow up with so many of our great western stars.

Wonderful episode! Wow! Thank you, Rob Word!

Rob thank you again

🤠 Rob , yet another excellent video interview 👍

It's on my bucket list.

Thanks Rob for bringing attention to this museum you have made me want to go there and I should be able to do it. When ever I go I will definitely share that experience with everyone here.

Thanks Rob . Another great interview about one of my favorite western actors. I would love to go to Fort Worth to visit the John Wayne Museum !

Wow, this would be a dream vacation for me. I used to live in DFW but decades ago. My family were such big fans of JW. Thanks for this “preview,” and the great story of Quick Draw Davis!

Love - Love - Loved this!!

That was cool!

I met Rob Word and Remet Bruce Boxleitner at the opening of the Wayne experiance.They were very nice to talk to..I live in Gort Worth and was the Stockyards Mailman for 3 years.

Thank you! This was really enjoyable. I bet you that no one knows more about John Wayne than your guest. I love the little details he has told us about. really great show, Thank you again!

Thank you for the tour. This video was very special to me as I am a huge fan of John Wayne.

Brilliant.

He was a hero

Enjoyed it

Wow! I have been to the Ft Worth Stockyards, but it has been quite a few years. I would love to visit this exhibit if it stays there. The exhibits look first-rate and amazing. Thanks, Rob. Looks like it was quite a party.

thanks Rob

John Wayne received the two highest awards an American civilian can earn, the Congressional Gold Medal, presented a month after his passing, and a year later the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor a civilian can receive in America. With regard to the Congressional Gold Medal, I think Maureen O'Hara said it best when she spoke with deep respect and emotion before Congress shortly before the Duke's death, asking for its authorization. "To the people of the world John Wayne is not just an actor, and a very fine actor; John Wayne is the United States of America. And I feel that the medal should just say one thing, 'John Wayne, American’."

Thanks Rob for anther informative and interesting video. Just a great job. Will show my husband who just loved John Wayne. Named all our boxer dogs Duke and he has a lot of memorabilia of him. Will definitely put this museum on our to-do list. A true patriot. Best

Loved it, Rob! Another great video. I have been wanting to go back to Texas for a while. Now I have another reason to go.

Wow I wish I could get one of mugs for my husband Frank he will be 105 in June 26 ! I want Really Special for him John Wayne is his favorite and we watch Westerns and anything he does!

Thanks Rob, this is outstanding. Especially since John Wayne is one of my favorite icons. Probably the favorite. I have so many of his movies on DVD, collection. Yet I don't have them all, yet. Still missing a couple and some are very hard to find. But I have all the major ones and some of his older ones as well, the black and white ones. And I'm still looking. I would love to see that museum it looks awesome in this interview was fantastic. I'm so glad that the family got together and did this Museum for John Wayne. And I'm so glad I got to see this interview. Have a great day Mr Rob word. You do so much for the Western genre and the older movies as well and you don't get enough credit. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting these things on KZfaq. God bless you always and abundantly.

I am so looking forward to see Patrick and others again this November. 👍👍 Anecdote time: When driving my dad and his household goods from Cali to VA, we stopped overnight near the Stockyards. I asked if he wanted to go see the museum, and he begged out for sleep. LOL. So I went and was amazed at the detail of Dukes life, and memorabilia. The museum gets Siskels 👍👍 & my rating of 10⭐ Well worth the side trip.

Have to go to Fort Worth!

Rob, this great interview is packed with valuable info. I hope in the future, there will be a John Wayne Museum to keep his priceless legacy. Thank you so much the sneak peek!

i cried a bit thanks Rob

Great video and interwiev, John Wayne is america, as they write, the alamo 1960 Will always be My favorite movie, along side Rio bravo and eldorado, have soundtrack from the alamo 1960 true Gritt, 1969 the cowboys beautiful soundtrack and a lot other soundtrack from John Wayne movies, thanks lord Rob Word of Word on Westerns laird of Word manor your friend tom now and always 🤩 🤩 USA 😎

John Wayne's appeal is unsurpassed. A visit to one of my friends living room here in Santa Fe will attest to that. He has a good size portrait of "Duke" done in charcoal hanging over his fire place. He wanted it because it reminded him of the black & white movies. He out bid many others at a local fund raiser. It's incredible. He's a local Latino or as he says, I'm just a 'Chicano' . Duke, is a true legend to ALL Americans. Gotta stop in Cow Town & take a look at this. Always adds on RFD-TV for it. Thanks Rob. Really great. I did not know that about the books being post production/release. My uncle George was at Iwo Jima & Midway and, my Father in law Bill was at D-Day. "The Longest Day' , another Duke movie.. Enjoy Memorial Day we remember with reverence for those who fought and did not return... God Bless America.

Great video! Only 1 thing that upsets me and its not about the video, really. I was born, grew up and lived in Dallas from 1953 to 2018 and in May 2018 I moved to Houston. Im not an hour away from the Stockyards in Ft. Worth, Im now 5 hours away. I doubt, now, that I will ever get to this wonderful museum.

Gonna be in TX in a few weeks. I avoid Dallas, Ft. Worth, like the plague. I may have to make an exception for this. Last time I was at the stockyards was the grand opening of Billy Bob's. So it's been a few decades.

I guess I’m headed to Texas!

👏👏👏👏👏👏

The Duke. The Legend. Rob, what's the story behind John Wayne and Ward Bond friendship? You could see the ensemble cast of characters used in many of Dukes movies. They were all beyond friends.

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

We have The Alamo it’s excellent! We don’t have anything from when he did early chapters I never saw them as I am 69 and he couldn’t afford the movies lived with Grandparents during Depression in valley of Salem, Oregon

💕👍

The roof of John Wayne’s Pontiac wagon was customized by the famous George Barris, not the manufacturer.

Frank can still hear with hearing aid and his sight is going especially in right eye he closes it to see better now!

I goin to texas

Good for Texas. As a Californian I can honestly say California doesn't deserve any of the Dukes' legacy. The museum will be on my list if I ever make it to Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains, along with a return to the Alamo which I haven't visited since '76.

Great vid, Rob. Every time I see one of your vids I learn something new. As an aside, did you ever see the pic of The Duke and Lee Oswald? John Wayne had dropped in for lunch with the officers of Oswald's Marine Company (on exercises from Japan) during a break in the filming of "The Barbarian And The Geisha" at Corregidor in January, 1958. Oswald is behind The Duke in the doorway doing mess hall duties. Talk about 2 people at the opposite ends of the spectrum!

I remember seeing some home movies aboard his yacht. I remember watching them and thinking here he was this bald, bare-chested fat guy acting up before a camera and thinking this American icon could have been my Uncle Louie.

😋

John Wayne is Overrated! Just saying, he wasn’t a Great actor, he was Lucky that he knew the Right people! Great for him and his legacy. He was a Basic actor though
