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.
