We have lost one of our best .
In June 1998, Heston was elected president of the National Rifle Association, for which he had posed for ads holding a rifle. He delivered a jab at then-President Clinton, saying, "America doesn't trust you with our 21-year-old daughters, and we sure, Lord, don't trust you with our guns."
Heston stepped down as NRA president in April 2003, telling members his five years in office were "quite a ride. ... I loved every minute of it."
Later that year, Heston was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. "The largeness of character that comes across the screen has also been seen throughout his life," President Bush said at the time.
He will be missed by me.

Always liked Mr. Heston. I thought he ws better in El Cid than in Ben Hur, where he won his Oscar. 55 Days at Peking is also a favorite.
Best role was as himself, NRA President.
Godspeed, sir.

I really have to agree with Geezer. Heston was a man of good morals and caliber. Hollywood needs a lot more people like him. This new generation of actors just can't hold a candle to him. Rest easy Mr. Heston.
