It's rather long but well worth reading. Larry Pendleton Crab cakes, Actors, and Moses himself. © (or an Actor's Independence Day wish) By Will Boroski Charlton Heston in Texas. A couple of years ago we were in Texas visiting locations for a film I was producing and while in Dallas the star of the film, Charlton Heston was with us. We were promoting a film and setting up preproduction and Mr. Heston came with us. "I love Texas", he said, "Can I bring my wife? I love her too much to not share Texas with her"! Something he also loved was CRABCAKES. This particular story happened one memorable evening. When Mr. Heston (who goes by Chuck) said, "Why don't we all meet at my hotel because I heard they have the best CRABCAKES in Texas"? So we did… …about 12 of us were waiting in the lobby to be called to our table when a woman with misty eyes walked up and said' "Oh my God, It's Moses himself! Could I have your autograph?" He replied "of course but I'm not Moses- call me Chuck". Well Chuck signed the woman's napkin just in time for us to be called to our table. I decided to sit next to him so I could talk and get to know him better. As we sat down I asked "does that Moses thing happen a lot?" He smiled and said "yes, often, but it's not a bad thing". Then I started to think about the woman and the enduring affect that his role of Moses in the 1956 epic film THE TEN COMMANDMENTS had on her. I looked at her age and thought I bet she saw it when it came out on screen AND I bet she hadn't seen it since. To be part of a film that has that kind of endurance and influence surely is rare (almost 50 years now) and he was so humble about it. At that point the waiter came by to take our order and stopped dead in his tracks and said… "Oh my God you're...uh…You're…uh… Moses!" Chuck softly replied, "No sir, I am Charlton Heston and we heard you have the greatest CRABCAKES, is that true?" "Yes Mr. Heston the very best". "That's all I want" he said "A BIG order of CRABCAKES…" Charlton Heston is one of America's greatest actors who won his first Academy Award the year I was born for his role in Ben Hur. I was wondering when someone was going to come up and say "hey you're Ben Hur", or "Aren't you the guy from Planet of the Apes"? Anyway there we were Me, Charlton Heston, and twelve other people who were quiet and just listening as Chuck talked about Crab cakes. "I like em too" I said. And he said "What do you like about them?" "They remind me of my Mom's cooking!" "Me too", he said. And our conversation began for the next two hours while the others just drifted away on their own conversations. "My Mom & Dad has passed on" he said. "Yours"? I proceeded to tell him about my Mom who is still alive (and kicking) and my Dad who died in Vietnam in 1969. And while we sat there he asked me questions about my father and got me talking like I never had before. (Maybe he was MosesJ) Anyway I proceeded to tell him…I knew my father well, or as much as a ten year old boy could. We spent a lot of time on our farm even though he was a career Army officer. He had already gone to Vietnam and served a year there before he told me he was going again. "Going again to Vietnam?" Chuck asked. He sighed and quietly listened as I told him about my father sitting me down on a stump on the farm and telling me he was going back to Vietnam and that he didn't have to go, but "HE" felt he had to. I didn't understand all of this but I do remember understanding that he was sincere and he wanted me to know some of his thoughts before he went back to Vietnam. First was that he loved me, and my Mother and four sisters and he wanted me to be clear on that. The other was that "He" felt that he needed to do this. He wanted me to remember something that was obviously very important to him for his voice lowered and slowed. He said "Son, if something happens to me I want you to know "I" felt that this was the right thing to do. With all the information we have today compared to what I am trained to do- "I feel it is the right thing to do"! If I don't come back days will pass and opinions will come out about the war… There will be people who will say it was wrong, the country was wrong, and they will say it! And here's my proof son! They've said it after every war there has ever been. So remember this son, there is nothing UNIQUE about them, they have been around forever and it is their right to complain, question, and live in the freedom we fight to preserve. Now the guys that are in Vietnam right now "THEY" are unique! They that stand up and defend our country are unique and most importantly- doing the right thing is Unique. He explained that Unique means special and rare and gave me his final hug. I remember like in slow motion that hug, a father's love to his child wrapped up in fear, love, and an overwhelming calmness. All in slow motion…He left two days later and I became a war orphan when he died two months later. …I noticed a tear dropping onto my plate as I "came to" and tried to shake my emotion. Keeping my head down I felt Chucks hand cover mine and without a word he started to hug my hand with his. It was very much like the hug in my story. As I slowly looked up I saw his face calmly looking at me. And as he smiled it forced the mist in his eye to gather and a tear rolled down his cheek as he whispered "I wish I could have met your father. We just sat there for a minute when I asked "Did you do anything UNIQUE during the Vietnam war?" "No son I was too old to fight, no one wanted me" he laughed. "But I did fight in WWII and I did go to Vietnam a couple of times." "WOW" I blurted in. As he told me about the late 1960's and early 70's and how he went to Vietnam "anyway". "I figured that since I couldn't sing or dance" he said "USO shows were out, so I came up with a plan. I contacted someone that I knew and made arrangements to go Vietnam and meet some troops." He went on to tell me an amazing story of how he would fly into the "battle zones" and hike into the jungle to the troops and how they were amazed when they would see him. On one of the first trips into the Vietnam jungles he told me about a young soldier just sitting there staring as Chuck walked up and before he could say anything, the young soldier quipped "what do you know, Its Moses himself". Chuck found that he loved visiting with the soldiers. He would visit and tell them about the news back home. He would tell them that he was there to give them moral support and let them know how proud he was of them. Could you imagine being an American soldier in Vietnam getting visits from Charlton Heston deep in the jungle? What an amazing time and what a story. But it's not over. One of the things Chuck did was carry a note pad and write down the names (and phone numbers back home) of the soldiers he would meet. He would ask the names of their wives, husbands, mothers or fathers and write down a message they would want him to deliver when he got back to the states. He traveled in Vietnam for weeks before returning to his home in California. He went on to say that he was very excited about getting back to his office and start calling all the soldiers families that he had met. He admitted that he was nervous at first because he thought they wouldn't believe that he was Charlton Heston who had just met her husband (in the first case). So he picked up the phone and dialed the first one. When he asked for her by name she seemed nervous, but when he told her all was well and who he was, she screamed with joy! They stayed on the phone for a long time and Chuck read her a message from her husband in the jungles of Vietnam. When they hung up Chuck felt even better about what he was doing but realized that he couldn't talk that long or he would never get through his list. So on to the next name and number. It was the name of a guy he remembered well, and as the phone answered he asked the woman if she was the wife of this guy. She said yes, and Chuck cheerfully said this is Charlton Heston and I have a message for you from your husband… silence… Miss are you there? The woman then spoke- "Is this some kind of cruel joke or something". Chuck's heart stopped and begged the woman to believe he really was Charlton Heston, when the woman interrupted and said, "Mr. Whoever you are, my husband was killed two weeks ago!' Chuck checked his notes and asked her the date- she told him and it coincided with the actual day he met him. He spent the rest of the call (and day) talking and crying with the woman and telling her the love message over and over again. Apparently he had spoken with the soldier hours before he was killed. And Chuck confessed the pain for him was almost unbearable. His heart broke as he read the soldiers final words to his wife over and over again. But the woman held on to every word as if to be speaking to her husband from beyond the grave. When he hung up the phone an entire day had passed. His heart was broken, his nerves were shot, and he had only called two numbers on the list. Sleep was infrequent that night but Chuck awoke the next morning earlier and started in what became common in those Vietnam days. "Hello this is Charlton Heston…" He said he thought about not doing it after that first day but remembered his word he gave to the men he met. So he planned introductions that would be neutral in case he would be calling a widow or grieving parent. Nothing worked to prepare him for the news that he got. Some of the people actually had to console Chuck as call after call he heard the news of soldiers that had died in Vietnam. Not reading about it in the paper, not reading a wall memorial, not even a telegram. Suddenly the thrill of finding his place in the Vietnam War was not as romantic as planned. Day after day he continued to call, and some of the soldiers were even already back in the states, most were not, and many unfortunately were dead. He spent months calling all the names on the list and when he was finished with the list. He went back for more. That's right he went back to Vietnam and made more public appearances in the jungle and came home with more names to call. "That's how I spent the Vietnam War", He said. "More crab cakes?" Sure I said. We sat there silently and ate the most delicious combination of crabmeat & breadcrumbs in Texas. Then I remembered what started this part of the conversation. It was when he put his massive hand over mine and in comfort said, "I wish I could have met your father". And it was then that I did too. Because he would have had a message for me from my father. Like so many people that heard it from Chuck in those days. I too would have loved to hear it. To carry that burden could only be done by a man with broad shoulders and a huge heart. I am sure that God knew what he was doing with Charlton Heston, an actor with a soothing voice and gentle eyes to carry the messages of soldiers from heaven. I can only imagine the anxiety and stress this could cause a person. But he did it. And I don't know many who have done anything so "UNIQUE". But in a way, that day I got to hear the words of my father though the messages of others, from Moses himself! J This story is my memory of an event that changed my view on patriotism. (Yes I think Charlton Heston is a patriot) I started to think about the current war in Iraq. And I thought of what it is that I can do. Before I would say, I'm just an actor, what can I do? But I do ask this… If an actor goes to Iraq on the back of his celebrity will he bring back a message or just a pack of cigarettes? If one makes a documentary on the back of the evil men do and blame it on the same constitution that soldiers die for should he win an Academy Award? And if you protest the war will you do it in a way that causes dissention or honor? I am still looking for what I can do and I am taking note of what I shouldn't do. I do know one thing though. Sometimes doing nothing is better than what some people in Hollywood have been doing. If your words or actions undermine our lives as free Americans then I beg of you to reconsider before your future is filled with regret from your children, strangers, and more importantly yourself. When I am older and my son asks me what I did during the Iraq war… I don't know what I'll say yet. But I am sure I won't have to deny some of the things other actors are doing today? I will, however, be able to tell him I supported our agenda on freedom and that his grandfather did not die in vain. And I will share with him his Grandfathers last words to me, in a soothing voice and gentle eyes I will carry the messages of his Grandfather from heaven. "…son, if something happens to me I want you to know "I" felt that this was the right thing to do... There will be people who will say it was wrong, there is nothing UNIQUE about that… But those that stand up and defend our country are unique and most importantly remember this- doing the right thing "is" Unique. Hey Actors! What did you do during the war in Iraq, anything Unique? Happy Independence Day…and Thank you Chuck!

Will Boroski sounds like he fits that mold too. However, I disagree with Ad that this has nothing to do with MtMen or BP. I believe that anyone that fights to protect our heritage...or build it...deserves the utmost respect, and that is what the mountain men did as they opened the door to expansion, what the 7th Cavalry did fighting the Indians, and what our armed forces have done every since. My blood boils when I see our flag burned and spit on. I have been know to...on occasion during a parade...nudge some of those that sit on their asses while the flag goes by, and mention that if they want to live under the freedoms we enjoy they damn well better respect our flag.

They had some good enough sound effects to fool a 13 year old kid. But that was about 1964 on the Armed Forces Radio Network in Germany. The program was in English, naturally.

He came out to our camp on Father's Day for an informal shoot and I had Father's Day breakfast with him when several of us missed our eggs-He slithered it down with the rest of us and laughed just as loud as anybody about it. He then signed a Father's Day card that I sent to my dad, who had taken me to see "The Ten Commandments" years earlier. A fine man indeed! To those interested, my grandson Cpl. Wm. Walker, U.S.M.C., is now safely back in the States after serving in the Persian Gulf operation. Thanks to those who expressed support, Dog, Hiv. 617 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
