The Green Berets, at least of a lot of it, was filmed at Fort Benning, Georgia, where my husband's father was stationed at the time. John Wayne played football with some of the men there, including my father-in-law and on that day my husband, who was 2 years old at the time, was on base. John Wayne held him for awhile. We are both huge John Wayne fans and he sure wishes he could remember his time in The Duke's arms. Thank you for taking us to this museum. What a great place to visit!
Thank you so much for sharing that. 😁🙌🏻
The sons of katie elder, hellfighters,and McQ are my favorite John Wayne movies.
True Grit was John Wayne at his best!
One of my favorites 😁
As a Seabee Vet, my personal favorite is John Wayne and the Fighting Seabees! It IS how we started! Great Job as always! Can Do!
I (Scott) need to watch that one! 😁 just finished a bunch of his movies for a video we want to make 😉
My favorites have to be "The Quiet Man" and "McLintock".
Those are Scotts favorites too
I love John Wayne, True Grit and McClintock are my two favorites.. Wonderful video. Thanks

OMG. We love that movie so much. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for this video, brought back a lot of wonderful memories watching JW’s movies!
Our pleasure!
Really love this video. I had the pleasure of visiting that museum with my step father, before he passed away. Back in the early 70's, my step father was a bodyguard for John Wayne. He used to tell me stories about parties on the Wild Goose. At one time, he owned one of John Waynes guns, but it was stolen right before he passed away. Always told me what a humble man John Wayne was. My favorite movie of his was True Grit and The Alamo
Wow!! What a cool piece of family history. 😊
The funniest John Wayne scene is in 1960's North to Alaska, when he briefly but noticeably loses his toupee.
lol. I need to look that one up
You guys do such a good job! Thank you. Ray C.
Thank you!
Awesome job, Pilgrim (lol)! Love me some John Wayne information. As you probably know, my favorite of his films are True Grit, The Searchers, and The Quiet Man with Maureen! Keep up the great work!!!!!
Thank you!! 😁😁 Yes, those movies are some of his best!
Great work! Thanks for the tour. I have to get out to see that!
Thank you! 😊
To your point of always wanting to be in the military and depicting them in the proper light, his movie, the Green Berets was the ONLY pro Vietnam movie to come out during the Vietnam era, and they are very few that are pro Vietnam war since. There are some that are about the soldiers that were forced to go to the Vietnam war, but not pro Vietnam war and I find that really good of him.
I completely agree. We just filmed our top 10 John Wayne movies for Watch with History and Green Berets made me list for that reason!!! Thank you for commenting and watching.
