This will be a weekend that will be forever remembered in the history of our nation as we mark the passing of one of the greates leaders our nation has ever had. He was indeed a man for the season. Thank God for Ronald Reagan, and may God now rest His soul.
As I posted yesterday... I feel like I've lost my father. There were two important men in my life who formed my political idealogy: my Grandfather and Ronald Reagan. As a child of the 80s, I only remember bits and pieces of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. But what I remember most is the pride my Grandfather felt for his country knowing that Reagan was leading us. My grandpa would often use words like strong, resolute, compassionate, trustworthy, genuine, and ‘smart like a fox’- one of grandpa’s favorites- to describe Reagan. So I grew up expecting these characteristics in a president.
So thank you, Mr. President, for helping shape a world where we are more free and more fortunate for having had you as our leader.
God bless you always.
