I am and always have been a big fan of John Wayne, one of my favorite actors if not my favorite actor.

I don’t know the rest of the history, you see the diamonds around it? I’m a very good employee.” ~Max ETA: ninja’d! ---

ETA: rereading the explanation, it does not, it is a pin given by John Wayne’s company to his employees. Got it. ---
