THE DUKE SAYS IT WELL

St. Patrick's Day, for us at The Study one of the great Holy Days of the year from the Western Holy Land, is fast approaching.

I thought of this lovely anniversary whilst running across a link in the newsletter of the Rochester BPOE, Rochester, Michigan [Rochester Elks Club].

John Wayne, unique American icon, is forever for us the Cavalry officer of the American Victorian West or the Irish-American boxer of The Quiet Man, a film playing to all the grand stereotypes that we Americans hold re that Emerald Isle across the Sea.

And here we found him in this newsletter reciting a poem about one of the other two greatest nations in the world.

Give a listen and a read.
Enjoy.
