Thanks for posting. Happy Charlton Heston Birthday to All!
Mr. Heston was scheduled to make a tour of Shiloh NMP and narrate a history of that battlefield, much on horseback. My horse, Nathan, had been chosen for the deed since he was well broke and a beautiful Arabian. Unfortunately, Heston’s health took a turn for the worse and the event never happened. I sure wish I’d had the chance to let him on Nathan. Sadly, both Nathan and Mr. Heston have gone on to greener pastures.
Loved him in “Big Country” and “Lucy Gallant” with Jane Wyman. Miss him.
Watching “Wreck of the Mary Deare” right now.
When freedom shivers in the path of true peril it is always the patriots who first hear the call. When loss of liberty is looming as it is now the siren sounds first in the hearts of freedoms vanguard. The smoke in the air of our Concord Bridges and Pearl Harbors is always smelled first by the farmers. Who come from their simple homes to find the fire and fight, because they know that sacred stuff resides in that wooden stock and blued steel.
Something that gives the most common man the most uncommon of freedoms. When ordinary hands can possess such an extraordinary instrument that symbolizes the full measure of human dignity and liberty.
That is why those 5 words issue an irresistible call with all and we must. So as we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to say those fighting words, for everyone within the sound of my voice, to hear and to head, and especially for you Mr. Gore "From my Cold Dead Hands".

I don’t mean to rain on your or the great Heston’s parade, but he’s not in “Knock on Any Door”.
