RIP Charlton Heston

[TheWarDen86]

I own and love The Ten Commandments. RIP CH!

Met him about 4 years ago at a book signing, a very gracious man. When my wife told him that we have been together for 36 years, he smiled and said, " Not bad for newly weds."

He also was heavily involved in civil rights and his years of commitment to the NRA, an organization which I fully support, were outstanding. Not only was he a great actor, he was a faithful and loving husband and father, married to Lydia for 64 years, a rarity in Hollywood. RIP, Mr. Heston - you will be sorely missed.

Couldn't have said it better myself - I remember watching The Ten Commandments every year around Easter, and I always had a big crush on him. He was one helluva man.

I still have my bumper sticker "Charlton Heston is my President" in fact I have two of them unused. Also have the the same movies Ten Commandments and Ben Hur.
I want the "Pry my cold dead fingers from my guns bumper sticker", because they will have to. I wasn't a POW so they could come and take them from me. This is still America or was last I looked.

As Tom Selleck told Rosie O'dumarse "I will give up my guns when the criminals give up theirs."

God Bless each one that has remembered this young mans' family, even at 84 he was still a child of God.
