My thoughts on this great man.

With the perspective lent by the passage of time, Ronald Reagan's presidency casts an ever-larger shadow over his underlings.

[Joe Brower]

Great post, Jeff.

Farewell, Mr. Reagan. May God bless you and keep you.

[Howlin]

Jeff, the light will just be brighter now; just think of all the people who will just be learning about Reagan.

Good thoughts.

[Velveeta]

The sentiment is lovely, but you spelled his name wrong above the pic.

Also, he was *President* Ronald Reagan and respectfully should be addressed as such.

(In my humble opinion)

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)

May he rest in Peace....the Peace that passeth all understanding.

[Chapita]

A truly great man is gone! But will never be forgotten!

[Jeff Head]

Amen...spot on.

The correct flag etiquette for the death of a president or former President is to fly the flag at Half-mast for 30 days.

Great tribute! Thanks for posting!

Thanks Joe...I know that God will keep and rest Ronald Reagan. His death marks the passing of a truly great man and a bright spot in a world so filled with darkness.

May we, in our turn, do our all to shine the light of truth and brighten it up to whatever degree lies within our power.

[eastforker]

A fitting tribute Jeff, good on ya for this.

[Jeff Head]

Well, I know five kids and now three grandkids who will learn the truth of this great man.

[Jeff Head]

I'll correct that spelling on my page.
<p.
Thanks for pointing it out.

[Velveeta]

You're welcome.

The rest is beautiful and fitting.

[Howlin]

I've got at least ten children and grandchildren covered!

We can do it......one person at a time.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks for that lovely pom.

Where never lark, or even eagle flew.

Luis...I have bookmarked a thread from some time ago by you with this same name. It just reminded me of that great post.
