“Let me thank you, the American people, for giving me the great honor of allowing me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home, whenever that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal optimism for its future….I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.” – Ronald Reagan
The memory of Ronald Reagan’s passing came to me yesterday out of nowhere - I was telling a friend about it. I had no idea that today was the anniversary of this wonderful man’s passing. Thank you for for this - beautiful. You now light up Heaven, Ron.
I remember that day well too; I cried like a baby; my liberal boss thought I was deranged to mourn Reagan.
If you’ve never visited the library you need to. It is exceptional. His feet are pointed toward the Pacific Ocean and his Air Force One is on display...all of it.
Nothing makes the tears well up as easy, as remembering President Reagan.
It’s not just that he’s gone, it’s that America is so different than when he was President. That’s the painful part, to know that half our country is for all practical purposes, anti-American now.
I pray we get an American President with the same values as President Reagan, on Jan.20th, 2013. We will not survive as “America” without that answered prayer.
I want Reagan’s America back. I know of only a few presidential contenders who want that too. May God have mercy on us, and give us a patriot president again.
