Being a kid in the Reagan era (born in 1972), I really didn't understand, or even care to understand, politics as a whole. I do remember feeling secure and protected under Reagan. I always saw him as a great leader and one that I was able to trust.

He wasn't "my" president, but in a sense he was (leader of the free world and all that). I related to this story, being of a similar age to you.

On a side note, one thing that did directly impact me was the "Just say No" campaign. Am I remembering correctly that it was Nancy's doing?

Yes, you are.

So if Reagan wasn't your president, I trust that you too are a foreign national like myself (although I now live in the US).

It is heart warming that there were others in other countries (at the time of him being president) that were touched by Ronald Reagan.

Growing up in British Northern Ireland, I remember growing up watching the conservative duo of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. He had the utmost respect for Thatcher and she for him.

The world thanks you Ronald Reagan.
