This clip is posted here to promote the purchase of the full length film about a great moment in American history which is all but forgotten today. Look for a DVD with the special feature on the making of this great move. John Wayne had a passion for the story of the Alamo, and went to great lengths to make this movie with a cast of thousands of extras. Nothing digital here!

Before the New York Trade Center was attacked, we remembered Pearl Harbor. Before Pearl Harbor, we remembered the Alamo where from February 23, through March 6, 1836, 153 men stood against tyranny of General Santa Anna and his battle-hardened Mexican army of 7,000. Today it is easy to overlook the great cost of liberty and freedom in the history of the United States. Beyond the movie, learn about the real Alamo, and the bravery of liberty-loving souls who stood hopelessly outnumbered, laying down their lives for the hope of a better tomorrow. This clip John Wayne's passion for the Alamo is clear as he expresses in the character of Davy Crockett, what the word "republic" means to him

  • what a legend!! john wayne is AMERICA. no nonsense, old school actor!!

  • Damn I wish I had been able to actually meet The Duke in person.

    Sadly though he passed away just 5 short years before I was even born.

    My dad still made sure thought that I was raised on his movies and others like them so I would grow to be the man I am today.

    It makes me sad to see how so many haven't learned to be as patriotic and honorable as Wayne was.

    May you rest in God's grace, Wayne. You are truely missed.

see all

  • @march1836 fuck you commie cunt

  • @march1836 what a miserable little sack of shit you must be. every single insignificant comment you post is nothing but a bunch of troll garbage. you are completely irrelevant and everything you say is meaningless. truly your momma must be proud. How bout' you run upstairs out of the basement and ask her?

  • @march1836

    Saying it doesn't make it so.

    It's like saying John Ford was a fake director. doesn't make it so.

    Wayne's, and Ford's fillms are some of the most iconic movies of all time with countless films attempting to duplicate the films in both landscape and cinematic scope.

    Part of the reason why the areas used to film are called Ford Country and the characters Wayne portrayed are some of the most talked about roles of all time.

    Get a life and stop crying.

  • @GojyotheFeared Yeah, yeah,another phony.

  • @march1836

    Once again, I'll explain this to you.

    Age

    An old injury that would have proven to be a liability on the battle field.

    Children.

    Something I hope you never have because it would be a shame for them to grow up as ignorant as you.

  • @GojyotheFeared JW needed to grow up and he fooled the americano public, but not me. He NEVER served his country so why do you Pee Party gang like him? REMEMBER, his iconic poses were all planned in advance, NOTHING was natural; they were movies, and THIS is YOUR history? Poor sap.

  • @march1836

    "Wha! I don't like wayne so he must be what I say he is because I say so! whaa!"

    "9th rate movies" Yea, that must be why his movies are talked about even decades after his death.and why his roles are some of the most iconic of all time.

    Let me guess, you're a twitard as well, huh?

    Grow up.

  • @GojyotheFeared NO, Wayne is pathetic acting like a baloney hero in his 9th rate movies. He's something of a SISSY!

  • @Casper1tfg baloney! silly too, fit only for a pee party gang member!
