[rigamarrow]

The us Army sings it as She wore it for lover who is far, far away!Far away! far away! She wore it for her lover who is far, far away!

[B3yondBlu]

@rigamarrow The cavalry is the US Army.

[mojo21ish]

John Wayne is a star of stars and no one can be as good as Duke.

[SGTPANDAMAN23]

HOOAH



[ddd1953]

John Ford, what a director! When he shot in black and white he used a heavy red filter that pushed the contrast level of the film that made the scene the hi-def of it´s time.

He also went to his grave with 11 pieces of metal from his filming of the Battle of Midway. This and The Quiet Man, are his best color films.

A friend of mine played poker with him, John Wayne, Sam Johnson and others. He lost everything but said it was the best night of his life.

[badlandscowboy]

anyone know the name of the irish toon or song that plays when john wayne sends the scout off?

[glipzik]

old Ben Johnson. Seems like he was in every old John Wayne western. Always played a scout or loyal sidekick. Never had more than ten lines to say. I always thouht he was a football buddy of Duke's. Then I saw him in "The last picture show" and found out he was a real actor. And a good one.

[4Topwood]

So stirring.

[roychapman]

Great movie,great song. Love it each time I see it.

[caroleargo]

I love the view of Monument Valley Utah as the pass by the "Mittens"

[irish89055]

need the calvary again...... to fight the second Mexican War being waged against the US

[Gedankenbaukunst]

@irish89055 ready for another war LOL Watch " The run of the arrows " " Little big man " " A man called horse" before calling the calvary

[irish89055]

@Gedankenbaukunst I'll take the Air Calvary... but just start arresting the employers of illegals and they willl go home....

[MontezumaUH60]

@irish89055 I say bring back the Aero-Rifle platoons

[rigamarrow]

@MontezumaUH60 Every division now includes an aviation brigade; intelligence has become a combat branch and includes long range recon in their battalions.The AirCav function has gone to the 101st Airborne.

[MontezumaUH60]

@rigamarrow This I know, there are forming 13th CAB next year at Carson, I might just reenlist

[floridafyme]

I love the entire Trilogy.

[Hughganaught]

I always wanted to be like Ben Johnson in this movie. 

[ordalisea]

Viéndola en estos momentos en la Tv. No la recordaba.

[VersusARCH]

Just a question: what is that fort protecting in that desert wasteland? Who in the right mind would build a farming settlement in such an infertile land?

[ajferet]

@VersusARCH cattle. but mainly they are protecting the route to California. They are also maintaining law and order among hostile tribes, unemployed CSA veterans, bored cowboys and etc.

[mackshayster]

@VersusARCH it was more about the railroads. the railroads built in the area needed to be protected, as did the small towns that sprang up around them (like las vegas), as the railroads were how supplies were sent from the east to california and oregon.

[randolph65]

they dont make western like the good old days

[Gedankenbaukunst]

@randolph65 cause they belong to a time where we don t know the historical truth . Not every body has the talent of John Ford to give esthetical credit to lies

[ajc1337]

@Gedankenbaukunst Still a great music, and not entirely inaccurate

[sunflowerdreamer]

I love this~~one of my favorites movies growing up. I think I started singing (and probably marching along) when I was about six years old. Yes, John Wayne was a patriot as was most of his co-workers. Things seem so much worse these days which is something we all need to work on to get America the way it should be. We need heroes like John Wayne again. Bless him and the USA!!

[GeoS2Icarus]

The more things change the more the stay the same!

[MITCH0760]

Does anyone know the medal that Capt Brittles was wearing when he did his final inspectin of C troop upon his retirement? MOH?

[agatematt]

@MITCH0760 Yes, Captain Brittles is wearing the Medal of Honor. From the Civil War to 1914 revisions, the MOH --- which was the only U.S. military award for valor --- was worn on the chest. After 1914, both the Army and Navy MOHs (which have different designs) have been worn around the neck. Marine are awarded the Navy Medal and in 1947 another design was created for the new Air Force.

[agatematt]

Director John Ford & Cinematographer Winston Hoch (Who won an Oscar for "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.") wanted to capture on film the iconic paintings of the great late 19th century western artist Frederick Remington that featured the U.S. Cavalry. It is really amazing how close they came to doing just that.

[WorshipInTruth]

This is taken from the Puritans, God was with them, may God be with America once again.

[isuckaman]

I regret my ancestors didn't come to this country during the 1800s then maybe one of my 'grands' could have served in the U.S. Cavalry.

[veekeeper25]

I can't wait to hear this type of music at the reenactment of the battle of Wilson's Creek!!!!!

[dandydon777]

No, it certainly does not get any better than this!!

[TheBurf1]

Depicting a time when men were men.  Men like these built this country. Not like today's pathetic whiners. What have we become???

[cavscout678]

Can anyone tell me were I can find this song?

[doubledevil66]

OH heck we are all Americans and us Yankees love you too. We need to stick together. We can't live without each other. LOL!

[freevirginia]

One of my favorite movies. Why does this have an emotional effect on me when I despise the Yankee army that laid my beloved Confederate nation low?

[MontezumaUH60]

@freevirginia Cuz we all know if the Confederacy won, their entire Army would be as honrable a Hauptmann Brittles

[1tealove]

She wore! She wore! She wore a yellow ribbon!

She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May,

And when! I asked! Oh why she wore that ribbon!

She said its for the MANSFIELD and we're going to Wembley!

Wembley! Wembley!

And we're all pissed up and we're going Wembley.

COME ON YOU STAGS!!!

[agatematt]

The bugler riding behind John Wayne's Capt. Brittles is Frank McGrath, who had worked on John Ford films since the early 1930s and would continue until the mid-1950s --- including two daring horse falls in Ford's masterpiece "The Searchers" in 1956. In 1957, he would grow a beard & land the role of a lifetime as the whimsical cook Charlie Wooster in the classic western television series "Wagon Train" and would remain with it during its entire 8 year run. He died in 1967.

[epm5433]

Great movie! ... Capt. Nathan Brittles, my favorite Duke character!

[EIETom]

She said its for the Arsenal and we're going to Wemberley, Wemberleeeee, Wemblerleeeeee

[sylverclaws]

I liked the "Captain Darlin"' part in the movie and when he's asking who the sleeping dog belonged to. lol This is a great movie, just watched it last night. =) John Wayne has a lot of good oldies.

[mikemalo47]

They just don't make um like this anymore...damn it

[OffyDoavy]

Hey, I just love it. I was a boy once...such great memories... me and Micky in our Texas' rangers guns and holsters. Loved the Duke in his films..second only to Charlton Heston,,,,Ben Hur and his performance are part of my life( Stephen Boyd wasn't bad either (for a Paddy). But hey, I grew up and couldn't handle their politics..still love you boys,,, God bless ya.

[WALTERBROADDUS]

[212729h]

Ya gotta just love Ben Johnson.
