    I don’t even remember such a story last year about the 1976 flag being stolen then returned.

    Gilmore was executed by firing squad in Utah back in ‘77.As I recall reading in the paper at the time, he was quoted as saying, "Let’s do this."

    I find it hard to believe that a major international brand like Nike would use a killer’s last words as their long-standing slogan….

    I find the “just do it” bit hard to believe, but apparently it’s been corroborated by Weiden of Weiden & Kennedy, Nike’s ad agency. Of course, Gilmore’s last words were “Let’s do it.”
