But, Wayne’s career also took on a different form. Over the years, he starred in several military and patriotic-themed movies. Some of the films included The Flying Tigers, the Sands of Iwo Jima, and the Green Berets.
Now Wayne’s dedication to United States war films is being celebrated at the Strategic Air & Space Museum in Ashland, NE.

The Strategic Air & Space Museum is presenting the exhibit as a tribute to Wayne’s inspiration to soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. The John Wayne:American exhibit began on June 11th and runs through October 2nd, 2011.
