It should be a national holiday.<br /><br />Last year I did a week long series of posts from others remembering the 25th anniversary of Reagan's first inaugural. Lots of photos, audio clips from the "tear down this wall" speech etc:<br /><br />http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2006/01/reagan-tribute-encore-eyewitness.htmlMike's Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262938295909490454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-42162138735828787162007-02-05T10:54:00.000-05:002007-02-05T10:54:00.000-05:00When I cast my ballot--twice--for Ronald Reagan, I...When I cast my ballot--twice--for Ronald Reagan, I did so with enthusiasm and conviction. Though I never met the man himself, I miss him. I began missing him the moment he left office.<br /><br />My husband met Governor Reagan when my mother-in-law worked to get Reagan elected in California. To this day, my husband speaks of what a wonderful person Ronald Reagan was. He'd get down in the floor and play with children and my inlaws' house. Not a stuffed shirt!<br /><br />Of all the many brilliant utterances and writing from Reagan, these two lines always make me well up with tears:<br /><br /><i>[from the Alzheimer's letter]: I now begin the journey that will lead me to the sunset of my life. I know that for America, there will always be a bright dawn ahead.</i><br /><br />In his final years, Reagan was blessed not to have seen and understood 9/11. Thank God he was spared from experiencing that day! It would have broken his heart--and made him righteouly angry at the same time.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-28764099447982827542007-02-05T09:49:00.000-05:002007-02-05T09:49:00.000-05:00Hey pallie Benning, like the good ol' days Dinoind...Hey pallie Benning, like the good ol' days Dinoindeed!!!dino martin petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160265680867057779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-75804136594465173152007-02-04T23:48:00.000-05:002007-02-04T23:48:00.000-05:00Wow.... fantastic post benning ... man .. could we...Wow.... fantastic post benning ... man .. could we use someone like him today ..

I can't believe I didn't know that because I've read a lot on this wonderful man. Well, I feel honored to be in great company; I started out as a Democrat too. Carter changed all that! Great post, Benning.
