Former NRA president Charlton Heston to get US Post Office stamp
DailyCaller ^ | 02/22/2014 | unknown

The United States Postal Service has announced that former NRA President Charlton Heston will be honored with his own stamp. The stamp is part of their “Legends of Hollywood” series, and while the specific issue date has not yet been determined, it will be issued sometime in 2014.

Heston was a five term president of the National Rifle Association from 1998 to 2003. He was a tireless advocate for Second Amendment rights and will always be remembered by the NRA faithful for his “cold, dead hands” speech delivered at the 2000 NRA Annual Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I used to collect stamps as a kid. I think I have a sheet of Richard Nixon ones. Seriously.

A bit off-topic:

Does anyone else remember sending letters hom from VietNam and writing "FREE" in the stamp area on them?

I have some I sent to my folks with that on them and some from buddies in Nam that I received.
Maybe "collectors" items some day?

Also:
Do troops in war zones currently get to do this?
I do not know.

I hope they add a caption to the stamp....

In an ode to “Planet of the Apes,” I suggest....

“Keep Your Stinking Paws Off Me, You Damn Dirty Liberals!”

OK, I changed the last word.

You have to put a stamp on it. The *Free Mail* thing only works for Soldiers who are sending letters home. It doesn't work for letters getting out to them.

Since those of us stateside are sending to a APO....the postage is the same as if you sending a letter/package to anywhere in the USA. A deal at any rate!

Just make sure you do not put *Afghanistan* anywhere on the envelope.

They just can’t get past his NRA presidency as if he didn’t have a long, illustrious film career for which he’s being honored.

Yeah, that's the way I remember it.
Just curious if it was available for the troops.
