"Freddie" was Freddie Mayfield, an official doorman at the White House. Since the card is printed "Hostess" on the back, Wayne probably picked up the first card at hand when Mayfield asked for his autograph. According to the Nixon Library, Wayne attended a POW MIA dinner at the White House on May 24, 1973. Wayne was known for supporting conservative political causes. He campaigned for Richard Nixon and addressed the Republican National Convention in August 1968.
