Charlton Heston passes at 84

He served three years in the Army in the 40s, then returned to acting after WWII.

We don't have many of the great ones left. He was one of my personal favorites.

AAF Vet served in the Aleutians.

Out of my cold dead hands!

Fernie: I wonder if the hippies actually went over to his house and tried it too!

Damn dirty apes

Soooh... Captain America's Dead, Charlton Heston is Dead, GI JOE joined the UN...

Gawd, no one is left to protect us!

That is why it is now up to us to vote, and belong to the NRA.

We are bound together for the sole purpose of carrying on for those great one's that have passed on.

Funny you should mention that, I just sent in my membership yesterday.

When I was about 13 years old, my cousin and I were building a tree fort next to a fire road off of Mulholland drive. All of a sudden we have a '72 Sting-Ray vette power-sliding right towards us on the gravel road. Mr. Heston then waved and said," How's it going, Boys." We walked up to his car which was a metallic powdre blue with spoked chrome wheels. He was such a really genuine man.

Later when I did security for movie premiers, I escorted Mr. Heston to his car. He was a class act, which I cannot say for 99.9 % of Hollywood actors.

Lastly, I met him at an investment seminar in which he appeared as a guest/keynote speaker. He delivered a speech about himself which made most people, about 400 or so, cry with patriotic emotion. No wonder he became a conservative icon. He was an icon already to begin with.

God speed, friend, and thanks for being a true patriot like Ronald Reagan.
