Man, I loved Ronald Reagan. He was president during my teenage years.

I felt true pride in the man.

Here's to you Mr. President.

He served 81' to 89' right??? I was just a kid then...6 when he started...not quite 15 when he finished...yet I still remember a lot about him!
Whidden knows that I am in the military...and truth be known...I AM NOT a real patriotic sort of person...several people on here know that!...
however...I would have gladly served under the man...he was one of the few Presidents that I can call a real Man. He was a take action...no tip-toeing around sort of President...and THAT is what I respect!

You are in the service now Tear? Which?

He was a great president, except for that Iran-Contra thingie.

-HECK!

The DIS.

Nah, I was being serious. Aside from the Iran-Contra scadal, he was a fine president. Very smooth. I liked him a lot.

But, I do feel that Bush was pulling a lot of strings. That's not for this forum though.

I salute the Gipper, he was a great man and a hero for our country. May he rest in peace.

-HECK!

I was never a big Reagan supporter, but he brought a true sense of patriotism back to the country. He loved this country and he was a great man, and a great husband to Nancy. I am sorry that he had to go through such a devistating illness. My condolences to his family.

Defense Investigative Service?

anyway, i was only 5 when Reagan took office. but i remember feeling so proud to be an American and so proud to have him as president. when i now think of what it means to be a strong leader or a great American or both, no one better defined the role than Ronald Wilson Reagan.

He lived a wonderful life, however.

Larke has it right on the nose!...Not a big secret!
I think that Reagan would have made a fine Commander In Chief in today's society!

@devildog:

but tear is right, Reagan would be a great president even if he were serving today.

And who could forget old Nancy's..."Just Say NO!!" campaign!!!

i remember all the school 'programs' that i went through thanks to her.

but she was a fine example of a first lady.

Go REAGAN's....so are you going to watch the Ceremony Larke?

Not sure!!!

Wonder if they'll do something like a Reagan Monument or something? Probably!?!

I am watching the service now. Some very cool stuff.

The multi service paul bearers were slick.


I got nothing but good memories of Reagan. (The young right wing Christian-Republican I was!)

Even the weird stuff he did, I thought was cool. He tried to make ketchup count as a vegetable to save money on school lunches.

I was in school at the time and those vegetables sucked. I would have rather had ketchup!

I only liked the apple crisp

The worst was those shriveled up carrots. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Reagan ketchup would have been a lot better!

GO REAGAN KETCHUP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey...if Paul Newman can have spaghetti sauce or whatever...why can't Reagan have some Ketchup with his face on it???

I could go for that.

They been showing Reagan stuff all night. A lot of flash back clips.

I'm gonna miss the Gipper.

I agree....here's to Reagan!!!!!!

I regret the fact that I was born during the tail end of his administration, and thusly didn't really get to know the man. However, his accomplishments and obviously upstanding character speak volumes. Indeed, Here's to Reagan.
May he rest in peace, and may he never be forgotten.

That's right...you are still a pup, huh Shadow? You basically had to learn all about him in school!! Too bad..he was one of the good ones...best one in my opinion during my life!!!

No question

An American

ON A HORSE!!!!!!!!!!

I hate to throw a wet blanket on this but I just had to let like minded individuals know of these idiots. I can't control myself in there any longer.

It heats up around post # 404

GO DEVILDOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whidden came in and shut 'em down. GO WHIDDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO REAGAN....I mean...WHIDDEN!!!!!!!!

I was very moved by George HW Bush's eulogy. I especially was touched by the story of Reagan in the hospital. Bush walks in and the President is on the floor mopping up water that had spilled. He did not want the nurse to get into trouble, so he did it himself. What a very sweet thing to do. Reagan touched people because he was a very nice man.

I agree!

Yeah, I watched all last night while I was posting.

Made me very very emotional. Quite draining actually.

When Nancy started hugging the coffin, I felt really bad.

Thankfully, a new day today and I feel better.

This week has been a strange experience for me. Reagan fell off my radar when Bush senior took over. Thats the way they do it, the former president fades away so the new one is not upstaged.

I remember briefly hearing about his Alzheimer's in 94. I have heard bits and pieces of information about him in the news over the years.

But have not seen any interviews or nothing on the man since the late 80's.

So, all of a sudden this week, the coverage was absolutely overwhelming. Been seeing all these biography's and speeches and shots of his funny one liners.

Like opening up a time capsule.

I am very glad they gave him such a long impressive send off.

I was most shocked by Sam Donaldson. Sam used to do the most scathing reports on Reagan, and this week he had nothing but praise for the man.

Hey Fuscia, where is Simi valley at in relation to L.A.? The next time I get out to california, I would like to visit that library.

I think Simi Valley is North of L.A., but I am not sure. Sorry Dave.

Nancy and Ronald really did have a great love. I feel very bad for her. They say that just before he passed that he stared right at her with a look of recognition. It was supposed to mean a lot to her. An alzheimers expert was on CNN and said that even at that late stage of the disease, there can be brief moments of recognition.

I have always liked President Reagan. I have to say though that all the coverage this week has brought back a lot of memories. I think I have more fondness and respect for him now than I ever did. The first president I remember being aware of was Carter.
What a great sense of humor President Reagan had. Also he seemed very courageous and had a great moral standard.
I love that picture of him on the horse. I will try to find a good one.

Those are some fine shots right there Sandy.

He is celebrating with Yahweh. There is no need for sorrow. Nancy and family seem to know this very well.
