I can’t remember a time when John Wayne was not a part of my every day life growing up. The first movie I remember watching was "Big Jake" when I was three or four. It was a Sunday afternoon. Ever since I’ve been a John Wayne fan. As soon as I could I learned more about him as an actor and as a father and husband. It made me admire him and he became my role model in many ways. I am fond of several of the newer actors, but John Wayne will always be number one in my heart and maybe I’ll stop going into shock every time I meet someone who doesn’t know who he is. I hope I’ll be able to collect at least one of his stamps. It’d be like living a dream.

Monday I went to the post office here to pick up some sheets of this stamp and they didn’t know what I was talking about.
Two foreign ladies behind the counter, must be in their late forties, looked at me with blank expressions asking, "John Wayne?"
So I have no idea when they’ll be available in my area.
I went to http://www.usps.com and they didn’t mention them neither.

I am 54 years young and I have been a John Wayne fan all my life. My grandmother was an extra in one of the movies that he was in and I could have met him if my mother had not interferred. I have always been angry at her for that. I was 12 years old at the time and the movie was The Greatest Story Ever Told.

Thank you for helping to keep his memory alive.

A Fan For Life

My father was a huge John Wayne fan and I was introduced to his movies around the age of 10. My father passed from lung cancer in 1999 and I find great comfort in his movies, because he reminds me so much of my father and his cancer institute is a wonderful way to find a cure for this dreaded disease. I look forward to buying this commerative stamp in his honor as well as John Wayne’s

I’m a UK based fan of John Wayne. My family and I are visiting the States in August. My knowledge of the US Postal Service is negligible. Will I be able to buy these special stamps over the counter at a Post Office, as we would for similar issues in the UK? Or will I need to order them. Help appreciated

My first J.W. movie in the theater was "The Searchers" when I was 10 years…I had a hero from that day on…he never let me down…he was an awesome actor who never really got the credit he should have for movies like "The Searchers", "Red River", "The Quiet Man", "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon", "The Cowboys" and his last movie…"The Shootist"…he deservered at least an Academy Award nomination for the powerful and wonderful performance as "J.B.Books"….The Duke was a true American, great actor and a gentleman….and still my hero…..Roe-Anne
