i posted this on another thread too, don't know where it should go, not really a tribute, just a memory
    i remember coming home from school the day Ronald Reagan was shot. I had written a letter to him although I can't remember what it was about. I imagine it was a school project or something. So my grandmother told me he had been shot, and my first reaction was extreme sadness and childish selfishness ----" i guess he won't get my letter". then she told me he was alive. and i was happy. that night i got to work with my crayons and construction paper and made a get well card with all my favorite super heroes on it. a few months later i got a thank you note in the mail. i still have it. i think it's really signed by Ronald Reagan. It's his signature and it's definitely signed in ink. those were the days.

What agreat story! What a great thing to pass on to your kids and grandkids...something for them to look at with wonder and hope...knowing that there are great leaders who care and who are not distant.

Ronald Reagan was a God send to this nation when we needed it most. Thanks to him for his life and his vision, commimtnet and virtue...and thanks to God for blessing us with such a leader.
