What I will forever remember is the out pouring of grief and respect by regular American people shown to President Reagan and how the major media just didn’t get it all of them they were just ‘shell shocked’ by it! It was one of the first times I think I can remember the media demostrating just how out of touch with the American people they were. How do you report on something you can even begin to understand? It was like if an alien (The out of spce kind not the wade across the border kind.) had land on the Washington Mall and made a speech in its native tongue which no one on earth knew how to translate and then they tried to report on it what the speech was about.

I stood in line for seven hours to see his casket and I would have stood there for seven more.
I remember that Tom Selleck was behind me in line and never even thought about asking to be moved to the front. It was an amazing day.

To this day I believe Reagans last service to his country was to help get Bush reelected. His death and funeral, reminded the entire nation what a conservative ( a real conservative unlike Bush unfortunately) leader could accomplish...

Five years already. The outpouring of grief was tangible at each step of his journey to DC and then to home in Simi Valley, CA.
Ronald Reagan deserves a Mt. Rushmore all by himself.
Sarah Palin is the only one who can take his mantle.
She is the only one that loves America as much as Ronald Reagan did.

Thank you,
A tear came to my eye, remembering when we had a president that did not act like he was not one of us, but was proud of us and what we could become.
The country was truly united under him.

I deeply regret not voting for Reagan. I was a very angry liberal, listened to NPR morning, noon and night, and hated America. A wise conservative friend of mine convinced me that my political viewpoints were illogical, emotional, and did not look at both sides of the issues. Slowly I saw the light and became a Conservative. I have since participated in many polls asking the question: the greatest President ever. My answer is always REAGAN.

Five years already. It seems like it was only yesterday when the world got to watch the Clintons fall asleep during his funeral.
I miss that great man and our way of life.

What a great man - the speech he made after the Challenger disaster was probably the most moving thing I’ve ever heard.

I was listening to NPR's Garrison Keillor. At the start of the show he announced that it was reported that President Reagan had died.
There were immediate squeals of delight, cheers, and applause.
Keillor must have stared down his audience because the celebrating soon ceased, Keillor finished his announcement and the show started.

Reagan, was my first vote ( second term).I have a theory , for what its worth, I don't believe it takes a 'village", but I do believe the Man, the character of the man in the White House affects the generation coming to adult hood.
Ronald Reagan, provided a great example and set the course of our lives......the clinton kids , oh my.
Lord Knows what the Obama kids will be like but I know Dubya's kids went to war, I'm proud of them.
I'm proud of President Reagan.

A bad day. They announced Reagan died and then Smarty Jones lost the Triple Crown at the Belmont.
