What I remember most is President Reagan's address to the nation. That night he was supposed to deliver the SOTU, but instead he spoke directly to a shocked and grieving nation.

I believe the address is still on YouTube. Unlike President Numnutz’s self-serving bloviations, President Reagan's speech showed true leadership.

“The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye, and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.”

RR

I miss him.

Reagan's speech was written by Peggy Noonan.

One of those days we will never forget where we were when it happened.
