I named my daughter after you, sir. You will always be one of my biggest heroes in life and I thank God every day that I lived and grew up during your presidency. Happy Birthday Big Guy! Thanks for the legacy!
He did it by never letting his critics keep him from doing the right thing, whether it was firing PATCO or giving the Berlin Wall speech and asking the commies to tear down the wall.
God blessed the USA with Reagan, and lets hope he does again and enables our next POTUS to cripple the corrupt and degenerate marxist public and private sector unions by declaring all States of this union to be "Right to Work States"
Amen....Rest in Peace, President Reagan. The American public heard your plea.

i was in my single digit years when he was president, but i can remember my parents, to this day, saying how great of a president he was. there may be no other president like him is what i hear, but then again, i could be just counting my blessings that there may be hope after this chaos of the current administration when they’re time is up in 2012. so happy birthday mr. reagan, and we raise a toast in your name today!
I added the keyword “thelifesaver” due to a very fair documentary on
Reagan that aired on (believe it or not!!!) PBS.
It made strong mention of how Reagan seriously took his job as
a lifesaver on a swimming area along a river.
And carried the attitude throughout his life.
PS: The documentary (in “The American Experience” series) was so good
that I gifted it to my brother for Christmas.
The most important man in my life — other than my father who preached his word every day.
Reagan is the greatest man of the 20th century. period.
You beat me to the punch by a big margin.
See my #29 post.
I am still shocked that PBS (under “The American Experience” banner)
treated Reagan so well.

Happy Birthday Mr President
God Bless
I recently acquired two autographed pictures of President Reagan. REAL autographs, not the facsimile kind.
They have quickly become my most treasured possessions. Perhaps this sounds a bit corny, but I salute them every morning before I leave for work.
Happy Birthday to the best president our country has ever had. Thank God for Ronald Reagan. God bless Nancy too, she was a First lady with class. I loved their love for each other and for our country.
I couldn’t vote until after he was out of office but I sure wanted to! He’s the Republican that finally got my mother to stop voting Democrat like her family always had. My dad loved him. We had an older lady that lived across the road when I was a kid that was determined to win New York state for him if she had to do it all by herself. This women’s husband, who had passed away by that time, had been an attorney for the Republican Committee in the county, and this old lady was very into politics. She must have been close to 90 but was still very with it and still drove. I’ll never forget she drove a sporty looking Monte Carlo which made us kids laugh in the first place because of her age, but we got an even better laugh one day when I remember coming out of the house to see how she had put about 20 Reagan bumper stickers all over that Monte Carlo— just Reagan, not Bush! She drove that car around the county for a couple of months before the election, and when he won NY, she explained how she had “made some phone calls” and made it all happen!
That’s an excellent picture. First time I’ve seen it.
Ronnie, had the grand and once in a lifetime pleasure and honor of being in the world during your two terms as POTUS and voting for you twice in 1980 and 1984!!! From your restful and forever place sitting with our Lord in heaven bestow your wise and loving guidance on a USA and world that has lost its way. Thank you for being an American we can be eternally proud of and look up to through the ages yet to come!!!
