So much to say, but for now - Thank You Lord, for all Ronald Reagan did for our country and world.

To the best President I will ever know in my lifetime -

We're really on our own now.

THANKS!

"We're really on our own now."

Ronald Reagan was a man of faith and character, the right man in the right place at the right time.

God called him home. God will raise other men to lead at the right time. That man may be reading FR right now.

Salute, Mr President.

And May God Bless America.

God Bless him. He's right up there with Sam Adams and Patrick Henry in my book.

I'd like to see him on Mt Rushmore. Maybe some of you graphic artists can swing it :-)

[Bobby Chang]

Truly one of the greatest, and truly one who made America great. We shall miss him.

Godspeed, Ronald.

I just hope something more fitting that 105's are used for his final salute. Are enough 210mm howizers available?

When America had "fallen and couldn't get up", you picked the country up with your words and leadership.

God Bless you President Ronald Reagan.

[Jack Bull]

Ronald Reagan was was a great leader. You knew his beliefs. You knew where he was going. No one should be given the opportunity to lead this country who does not share these qualities. Great leaders don't change thier minds and positions as a normal course of business. There's still time for the Democrats to nominate a different person for President. Think Before You Vote

[elbucko]

Enough Howitzers? Probably not. Reagan was a "Big Shot". A real one.

[Stentor]

For those of us born in the forties our parents are going or gone and this hits us very hard.

Ronald Reagan was the first President I had the honor of voting for. He was first elected when I was 17. At the time, I wished I was a year older so that I could vote for him that year.

I had just purchased a new flag to replace the worn out one I was flying. I never thought the first time I would raise the new one it would be to fly it at half staff.

God bless the Reagan family and comfort them during this time.

HIGH FLIGHT

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

--John Gillespie Magee, Jr. (1922-1941)
