🇺🇸 America, Why I Love Her wasn’t just a spoken word album — it was a powerful tribute to patriotism from John Wayne himself. Originally released in 1973, it climbed to #13 on the country charts and sold 100,000 copies in just two weeks. It was even nominated for Best Spoken Word Album at the 16th Grammy Awards. After Duke's passing in 1979, the album was reissued as fans found comfort in his unmistakable voice. And in the wake of September 11, it returned once more — a reminder of the strength, spirit, and freedom that define America. 🎙️ You can experience the title track and accompanying visuals inside our America, Why I Love Her exhibit—now on display at the John Wayne: An American Experience Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. Duke’s words still echo when we need them most. #JohnWayne #AmericaWhyILoveHer #ClassicCountry #PatrioticMusic #AmericanIcon
