        @USATODAY I wonder what John Wayne himself would think. Not a fitting tribute to such an iconic actor. Shame on them.

        @USATODAY If Duke the bourbon really wanted to sell, since it is Kentucky Bourbon make the U&K in Duke in blue and everyone in KY would buy.

        @USATODAY Wayne refused to serve during WWII. Even Reagan had a P.R. role he played. Can we sue the Wayne family for harboring a coward?
