America, Why I Love Her

While contemplating my Patriot’s Journey post for today, I remembered reading some time ago a poem written by Robert Mitchum’s brother, John, that described the reasons he loved our great country. This morning I ran across the poem being recited by none other than John Wayne and decided to share it with those of you that may not have read or heard it until now. The poem is called America, Why I Love Her. Click on the image below and enjoy.

Very nice, lovely poem. I don't know much about John Mitchum other than he was a poet obviously, and I believe he was in the old "F Troop" series. Love John Wayne's reading.
