Amen to that! I owe quite a lot to President Reagan. It was his leadership that inspired me to serve my country (something 20 years later I am still doing). It was his courage and resolution that provided me with the opportunity to stand on the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and lift East Germans onto the Wall and into freedom. It's a memory I will always cherish - nothing can beat seeing people enjoying freedom for the first time in their lives. They all owe it to Ronald Reagan.
And for those who say that Mr. Reagan did not end the Cold War they need to ask the Russians. Russians will tell you quite frankly that they lost the Cold War because of Ronald Reagan's policies and steadfastness...
There is a nice big piece of that wall in Simi Valley at the Reagan Library. It's AWESOME just to see it there.
I've seen it twice.
Kewl!

To me his greatest achievement was giving those of us that fought in viet nam the respect the rest of our nation had denied us in public. But that was a personal thing with me.
