RONALD REAGAN CANDLELIGHT VIGIL SUNDAY NIGHT
http://www.reaganvigil.com ^ | June 5, 2004 | Kay Daly

Posted on 06/05/2004 2:43:30 PM PDT by ConservativeGadfly

We are going to hold a candlelight vigil on Sunday night at Lafayette Park in Washington DC at 6 PM.

Please bring candles and any kind of tributes you would like to share.

We are building a website at www.reaganvigil.com. It would be wonderful to have candlelight vigils taking place across the globe. So if you are receiving this anywhere outside the beltway, think about possibly holding a vigil at your state Capital, or even in your hometown at the main town square.

Reaganvigil.com should be up and running shortly which will serve as a good organizing place, but in the meantime, get your email lists fired up -- once reaganvigil.com is up and running, organize a candlelight vigil in your town!

May God's blessings be with President Reagan and his family.

Kay Daly

Unfortunately I have two hockey games to play today... I'm sure I'll get another chance with all of the things going on this week in his memory.

Can't make it tonight but am thinking of coming down for the lying in state/services on Thursday/Friday. I know I can't hope to get into the National Cathedral but would like to know if you all have any plans for the services.

Can you take pictures? I am sure it will look beautiful.

It is a great idea and I am going to try and attempt it on mine. But my front porch is always so windy. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Me too. My weekend was filled with finishing promises to my kids but I was amazed to hear what they had to say about the Gipper. I've talked about him but I didn't know they were listening.

My 9 yo said there was a poster in her school that reminded her of him and Bush. It says " Doing what is right is not always popular and doing what is popular is not always right." My 12 yo said "exactly". Damn! I love being a mom.

I heard the National Cathedral ceremony is on Friday and I would be more than appreciative to stand outside. Our we gonna get together to pay our respects? I'm gonna go but I'd rather do it with Freepers.

Thanks for the song MUD. I have my own remembrance of Ronald Wilson Reagan.

I was stationed on board the USS Dwight D Eisenhower from 1983 until 1987. In June of 1984 we were asked to be a part of the D-Day Anniversary remembrances. Since I speak French (en peu) I was part of the shore party from the ship. I was at Pont du Hoc with President Reagan and Margaret Thatcher and was able to meet both of them.

I told President Reagan that my uncle (my father's brother) was killed during the invasion and was buried at the allied cemetary there. He was truly a gracious man. He consented and I had a picture taken with both President Reagan and Mrs. Thatcher and gave it to my father upon my return. My father passed away in 1991 and I have since been unable to locate the picture.

"I was at Pont du Hoc with President Reagan and Margaret Thatcher and was able to meet both of them."

That's awesome!! I will always regret never having had the honor of meeting Reagan, a man who has influenced my life immeasurably.
