This Time for Real: Happy 4th of July America!

Ben Johnson - The Unforgettable Sergeant Tyree - In Memory



Ben "Son" Johnson Jr. (June 13, 1918 - April 8, 1996), an Academy Award-winning American motion picture actor, rodeo cowboy, stuntman, and rancher, emblematic for the best of America.

The scene of the dying of the old trooper, once a Confederate general, with Ben Johnson and John Wayne in "She wore a Yellow Ribbon", is one of the most heartbreaking ones I've ever seen.
