God Speed to a true American hero. The flag is at half mast for a man who brought honor back to the American Presidency, and made people once again proud to be American.Bill Bouxsein

After having lived in Europe during the Cold War, I returned to the US in 1980 and worked in the first Reagan-Bush campaign, then his innaugural, and then for him in the Pentagon for four years. I count my service to Ronald Reagan as the proudest time of my life. God speed Mr. President.

Godspeed, Mr. President. I was most proud to have served in the Navy under your leadership, and thank you for bringing prestige back to those of us in the military in those troublesome times. You will always be remembered...Ken Wood :-sun1Former Aerographers Mate (AG), United States Navy (1978-1992)

Actually D-day was June 6th, and he passed on the 5th.The coincidence is that he passed upon the same day Jimmy Carter had his submarine christened. That is the coincidence here, IMHO.

I have many fond memories of President Reagan.I served six years in the United States Marine Corps where he was my Commander in Chief, along with President George Bush for a short time in 1989.In 1988, I listened to him speak at Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills, Illinois during the campaign for President Bush. A Wonderful speech.He is a President, who IMHO, has left a legacy for our world, that of Freedom, and conservatism.He will surely be missed by many, and my Family and I have extended our condolences to his family.You may do so here:https://www.ronaldreaganmemorial.com/condolence_book.aspMemorial Donations Here:http://www.ronaldreaganmemorial.com/memorial_fund.aspHe is now with the lord, and is at peace.God Bless You Ronald,Best Regards,Joehttp://aboutpolitics.net/images/bannerav.gif.About Politics.net - FORUMShttp://pub162.ezboard.com/baboutpolitics.Contribute to the Richard Harvey Scholarship Fund.http://www.avsim.com/pages/scholarship.shtml

Ronald Reagan, steel in his convictions and his vision, oversaw the defeat of communism with the full and personal understanding of the risks involved, borne of the tragic lessons of worldwide mechanised warfare witnessed in his young life. A truly great leader...probably forever underappreciated by the hundreds of millions of people who stood to perish in the nuclear global confict that was only one bad decision away when he took office.Communicator, teambuilder, patriot, and father figure...he was all those things. Few are born to accomplish so much, and for so many. That our democratic system singled him out, bridled him with the awesome mantle of such responsibility, and trusted to him our fates speaks volumes on our future as a society.Our nation, and indeed the entire world, is forever in his debt. Pray that we prove worthy of such a legacy.R. J. ScottLt Col, USAF

Whereas I had no liking of the Reagan administration I have a great deal of respect for the pain and suffering of Mr.Reagan and his family with regard to Alzheimer's. This president and his wife and family suffered 10 long years that no person should have to. Alzheimer's is like a long painful season of cancer and I salute Mrs.Reagan's resolve to continue to lead a fight against the dreaded disease of Alzheimer's Dementia.Randy Jura, KPDX
