<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4594266, member: 101855&quot;]The U.S. Mint issued this very attractive medal in honor of John Wayne years ago. The reverse shows him at full gallop in Monument Valley when he made some of his westerns. I believe that actress, Elizabeth Taylor, was instrumental in honoring Wayne during which time this medal was produced.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1137701[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1137702[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is interesting to note how literally the Chinese Communists took Wayne’s exploits on film. I remember reading in a Wayne biography that they once put “a hit” on him because they thought that he was one of America’s most effective agents. They didn&#039;t seem to realize that his movies were fictional works.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
