Well said, Amy. Wish he'd been the Commander-In-Chief during my day.
Just imagine the pride of all those called to serve aboard the new aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. Requests to transfer aboard will flood NAVPERS I'd be willing to bet. Can't imagine too many lining up to serve in the USS Jimmy Carter. :)
I can only imagine the pride that our military must have felt to serve under President Reagan.
It was a time when we were proud to be Americans and be represented by this likable, honest and optimistic giant of a man.
