The first responders of 9/11 — the cops, the firefighters, the soldiers — that was what John Wayne embodied. He was a hero to the greatest generation because there was a moral clarity in his characters. He saw things in black and white, good and evil. That's why you're seeing his popularity surge.  -   James Olson     Quotes
