`Games Of The American Hero`
~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~
As a toddler he played cowboys and Indians with actor John Wayne
holstering water pop guns  in keeping to be safe and sane
~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~
Striving as a youngster  to play superman and Tarzan rescue  skills
in his early teens playing high school sport games gaining thrills
~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~
After  high school graduation he answered his country's honor call
leaving behind his sweetheart not knowing of a secure future at all
~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~
Returning home after seeing the wrath of hell's wars at all cost
trying to fit in with society's current obligations of  the work force
~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~
Living the best he knows how with recurring night mares of  battle
struggling to rear a family of his own within society's burdening saddle
~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~
At his twilight years his earlier game playing memories began to fade
of a family once living by Christian standards  that was once made
~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~
As a young man honoring love of God and Country he was taught to pray
now lost alone in misery of embodied war games he was forced to play!

May 24, 1973: In a historic address at a White House dinner
honoring and celebrating the return of POWs from Vietnam,
John Wayne thanks the President for his services to his country
and warmly welcomes America's true heroes, the POWs, home.
