She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is a 1949 western film directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne. The film was the second of Ford's trilogy of films focusing on the US Cavalry (and the only one in color), the other two films being Fort Apache (1948) and Rio Grande (1950). With a budget of $1.6 million, the film was one of the most expensive westerns of the time, but became a major hit for RKO and remains a popular classic today.

@agatematt it's not the medal of honor. It's the GAR civil war veterans medal.

CBS News showed this clip at the end of their broadcast segment on the death of Duke. It still brings tears to my old eyes, but so did the death of Earnhardt.

No comments on this great scene?! I understand Wayne developed the bit with the glasses himself, remembering that General George Washington had interrupted his farewell to officers of the Continental Army to put on his glasses. Washington told his listeners that he had gone nearly blind in the service of his country and Wayne wanted to echo those sentiments without saying a word. I think Captain Nathan Brittles is one of Wayne's most memorable characters.

Wonderfully acted and directed scene that is full of sentimentality, but never crosses the line into being maudlin. Always love the bit of play between George O'Brien and Joanne Dru and the handkerchief. But it is all topped by Wayne's returning of a final salute by Harry Carey Jr. BTW, the medal Wayne's character of Capt. Brittles is wearing is the old-style Medal of Honor. It was not worn around the neck --- as it is today --- until World War I.
