much about John Wayne it's the old I knew as you should play the movies that I only went through one movie with him a wagon filled battle I went to that one I named him on that in natural they were there was a shallow river and the Indians were standing on the other side in the minute this had admitted to pulled his flag everybody started whooping and yelling just crossed that River and kind of a rocky place what I was thinking and so and John but I give you the signal far away and the guys they gave the signal for the guy start movin and Yellin a startled cry and John Wayne eg to the shop

haha it is digital selection and he didn't instruct them right so they wonder what the shot went off was the one that was supposed to fall fell but others that spell too and they wanted to get paid for the fall you know they get more when it if they didn't you know when it ball so that's what they were checked you've been in movies people have seen you've been with many people that everyone knows but the more serious conflicts you've been in were in World War two understand you were shot several times you're a true American Hero if you don't mind me asking can you reflect a little bit on be in those conflicts in World War two that was a d-day we were dropped over Normandy and they dropped us in their own place they dropped us right on top of the enemy instead of behind the lines where we could fight back just like we did a nun geo beachhead they got this right on top of them so it was early in the morning so they they just picked us off just like clay pigeons you know have a whole battalion just a few of us survived and when I fell I never didn't know I hit the ground I hung a part of my flesh it was right on the tree and part of it was in the yard yard sense and I was hanging cut sort of hanging down the lane up a sidewalk bring my helmet all come I was left for dead or left for dead according to the story and I was like conscious of course and the British commando Medical

tied my gym jump artist tight and they sent me to the hospital and when I got there they brought me out of it it gave me trouble a transfusion and everything else next day they told me the story this the reason he done that he just cut the his knife he cut the cord he because he wants to tie it tight it up so that the blood to circulate faster kill me so that's what he does and he doesn't really good job so I went to the hospital with butter jump harness and everything fiction foundation everything tied around me and I swear survive I guess I won't say how old you are but eighty years ago you

the horse this is special what they brought their forties from Spain they like to spoil horses they were sure-footed long winded and that's what they were the guys like and they depended on them when
